"On the Mount of Olives, the chapel Dominus Flevit (the Lord wept), built in 1955, commemorates the words and tears of Jesus while looking at Jerusalem. Behind the altar, a large window gives us a beautiful view of the city panorama."
(Brother Peter Fobes OFM in "Pilgrims of the Centuries", B.Kuhlen Verlag)

Nice intermediate stop on the ascent to the mount of olives with great view and less buzz than at the top.
