Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Gethsemane

Bethany Comm./ St. Mary Magdalene Church. P.O.Box 19238, Jerusalem 99119

Description:

Israel, as the center and foundation of Christendom, is of course famous for its churches. One of the most famous is the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Gethsemani. It differs in that it is Orthodox, while it is quite large even in terms of the scale of Jerusalem. There is an Orthodox convent here.

The church is large, beautiful, reminiscent of our buildings of the 17th century, the main difference from ours is, of course, the landscape surrounding it: mountains of white sand, scorching sun, overseas plants. It's a beautiful garden.

Entrance is free. You can leave donations.
