'cleft of the rock' Ex.33:22 Ascension Thursday
"and it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by. (Exodus 33:22 NASB)
The Tabernacle is in a hole of the wall.

Last evening the sunshine illuminated the Oratory behind the Choir.
