SHAKE OF THE DUST -ARISE !
The Gihon Spring is the heart of the City of David, where Jerusalem was born almost 4,000 years ago .David drank from the Gihon Spring and Solomon was anointed King of Israel by him. In time of siege and war, Hezekiah, king of Judah, diverted the spring's water into the city via the Shiloah Tunnel to protect them from the Assyrian enemy. Over the years, the water became known for its holy and healing qualities and was used for purification and worship in the Temple . "Therefore with joy you will draw water from the springs of salvation" (Isaiah 12;3)
This sample from the Gihon Spring, which flows till this day, together with earth from archaeological excavations in the City of David, symbolize the historical and eternal bond between the Jewish people and the modern City of David ancient Jerusalem.
