The Golden Gate or Gate of Mercy Hebrew: שער הרחמים, romanized: Sha`ar Harahamim, lit. `Gate of Mercy`; Arabic: باب الذهبي, romanized: Bab al-Dhahabi[3] or al-Zahabi, lit. `Golden Gate` is the only eastern gate of the Temple Mount, and one of only two Gates of the Old City of Jerusalem that used to offer access into the city from the East side. The gate has been sealed since medieval times. Its interior can be accessed from the Temple Mount. It was recently converted into a mosque. In Jewish tradition, the Messiah will enter Jerusalem through this gate. Christians and Muslims generally believe that this was the gate through which Jesus entered Jerusalem.
