We will walk among the traditional ancestral homes, amidst a rural landscape of ancient stone houses, and we will tell you about the village. Who are its residents? What is its importance to the Christian world, where almost every sect built a church and monastery?
We will get to know the Armenian community, Christian history, art in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, real estate disputes, and the highlight – a visit to the new Armenian Museum, one of the most unique in the world.
The deep connection between Christianity and the Holy City, the history, culture, and customs of the diverse Christian communities, and the sites that preserve the stories and traditions of each.
For lovers of antiquity and depth: the history of the "Mary Magdalene" monastery, Kapustin who founded the "Ascension" monastery, an underground cave where the "last three biblical prophets" are buried
Antonin Kapustin's collection reflects the story of his fascinating life in the Holy Land in the second half of the 19th century - he was not only an archaeologist and researcher, but also a compulsive collector of antiquities.
We will examine the Elizabethan Courtyard, the Spiritual Mission Building, the Consulate, the Russian Hospital (outside), the Holy Trinity Cathedral, talk about archaeological finds, the Mariinsky Courtyard, and more.
