Serious question. When Christians visits the Western Wall do they pray to Jesus?
Apparently the western wall was part of the Roman garrison in ancient times. Don't know why anyone prays there.

If someone is Christian, there's only one God to pray to. God has a name, Jesus. God has a face, the face of Jesus.
God became flesh and revealed Himself to his creation as Jesus.
I could go on, but u get the picture.

if Christain, you believe in the Holy Trinity, so praying to God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit are all one in the same
No, they are distinct. One essence but three distinct persons.
I don't agree. The three distinct person thing is illogical, IMHO.
A better description is I am Chris, my own person, to my Father I'm a son, to my children I'm a Father,
Different distinctions, manifestations of the same person. God has revealed or manifested Himself as Father thru creation, as Son thru Jesus and salvation, and His continued presence thru the Holy Spirit.

I, and I think most Christians, pray to God the Father - in Jesus’ name.

Of course. Christians and Jews worship the same God.

Was Jesus a Christian? A Christian is someone who follows the teachings of Jesus - did he follow himself?
The term Christian didn’t arise until sometime after Jesus time on earth

Jesus intercedes for you to the Father. Jesus taught us how to pray "Our Father..."

The bigger question that I have is what did Jesus do for 40 days in the wilderness that were not told about from human eyes? What's crazier is that the devil actually came and tempted him. Would be scary as shite to meet that guy.
He's now the PM of Israel.

Yes, and I did it in a cowboy hat too. You have to cover your head and they don’t care what kind of hat you use.

Christ was the fulfillment of God promise to his chosen people, the Jews. In his sacrifice, he atoned for the sins of not just his people, Christ was Jewish himself, but opened up salvation to all of mankind. In this he defeated sin and saved the World. As the trinity, God took the form of man, as his own son who distinct and fully human in all the ways humans are. He felt pain, he felt hunger he was tempted etc. He showed in his life as an example how we humans can live if we so choose to. He was God, he was also man. The trinity is what is called a mystery as it is not something we can fit into our logic. The 3 are 1. You can say a prayer to all three directly but you are also saying to a prayer to all 3 if you only pray to one, in terms of subject. "God help me" is to all three just as much as "Jesus save me" etc. The early Church spent a lot of time on this topic and many early heresies were essentially disputes on this topic. The Greek Orthodox and Roman Catholics are essentially split over this, see the Filioque dispute.

Jesus was a Christian in the sense that He was the object of the Christian faith, even if He was never called “Christian” during His earthly ministry.
The label won’t mean much in Heaven, though. There are truly only two kinds of people in the world: the elect of God and the reprobate. Only the elect will be in Heaven.

A few thoughts:
1. We were there in 2022. Men are required to wear a head covering to the wailing wall.
2. Definitely prayed in Jesus's name as a Believer
3. Went to the Holocaust Museum and was not in any way required to wear head covering there. Perhaps they've changed the rules since then
4. I would encourage everyone to go at least once, provided they're isn't active warfare going on

It is enforced (mandatory) at the wall.
Posted on 4/19/25 at 9:53 am to GumboPot
Praying the Psalms would be a most appropriate method to pray at that Wall.
Psalms 113 through 118 would be most appropriate.
