From the Mt. of Olives the left arrow points to the Golden Gate.  The Turks blocked it with hewn stones.  There was a gate of a previous wall found in a pit that opened up below the Golden Gate a couple of years ago (c. 2000) but the pit had to be covered as it was in a Moslem graveyard and they did not want to permit archaeologists into the area.  The right arrow points to the Church of All Nations at the side of the traditional Garden of Gethsemane.  Christ walked from Jerusalem to the Mt. of Olives after eating the last supper.  

Some days later,  yet before the Pentecost, he ascended from the Mt. of Olives to heaven.
