St Anne's Church, Bethesda
Via Dolorosa at St Stephen's (Lion) Gate, Jerusalem, IsraelTel: +972 2628 3285
The compound in which St Anne's sits is now the home of the French White Fathers. In the time of Hadrian, the site held a temple of Asclepius, the Roman god of healing. Somewhat later, a church dedicated to Mary was erected. In the crypt is a shrine commemorating the birth of Mary, whose mother was St Anne. The present building is a very fine example of Crusader architecture. Note the Arabic inscription above the door. Salah-al-Din turned the building into a Muslim madrasa (religious studies school) in 1187. Pilgrims pause here to sing - the acoustics are marvelous. Catholic masses are held on Sunday at 7a (French) and at 6:45a from Monday-Saturday (French).
