Jerusalem is important because Jesus Christ was born near there, taught there, was arrested there, tried, convicted and hung on a cross to die there. He arose from the dead there and appeared numerous times to his followers before he ascended to the father. The Church had its beginnings there on Pentecost Sunday when the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles in the Cenacle in Jerusalem and gave them the courage to begin evangelizing.
