how far is it from bethany to jerusalem
Bethany Bethany has traditionally been identified with the present-day West Bank city of al-Eizariya (Arabic العيزرية "place of Lazarus"), site of the reputed Tomb of Lazarus, about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to the east of Jerusalem on the south-eastern slope of the Mount of Olives. The oldest house in present-day al-Eizariya, a 2,000-year-old dwelling reputed to have been (or which at least serves as a reminder of) the House of Martha and Mary, is also a popular pilgrimage site.[1]
