Bethphage

'house of unripe figs')[1] or Bethsphage,[2] is a Christian religious site on the Mount of Olives east of historical Jerusalem.

Bethphage is mentioned in the New Testament as the place in ancient Israel to which Jesus sent his disciples to find a colt upon which he would ride into Jerusalem.

The Synoptic Gospels mention it as being close to Bethany, where he was staying immediately prior to his triumphal entry into Jerusalem.

[8] Just up the hill from the Catholic church is the Greek Orthodox Holy Monastery of Palm-bearing Bethphagea.

The Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem holds an annual representation of this event there.
