Bethphage (; ) or Bethsphage, is a Christian religious site on the Mount of Olives east of historical Jerusalem, now in the At-Tur neighbourhood of East Jerusalem.
The Synoptic Gospels mention Jesus stopping in Bethphage before his triumphal entry into Jerusalem. There is an annual Catholic Palm Sunday procession into Jerusalem, as there is a Greek Orthodox one (the respective feasts rarely fall on the same day), both beginning in Bethphage.
