[[The Golden Gate]], as it is called in Christian literature, is the oldest of the current eleven gates in Jerusalem's Old City Walls. According to Jewish tradition, the Shekhinah  (Divine Presence) used to appear through this gate, and will appear again when the Messiah comes (Ezekiel 44:1–3) and a new gate replaces the present one; that is why Jews used to pray for mercy at the former gate at this location.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Gate_(Jerusalem) Golden Gate]</ref>
