Mary’s Tomb

Holy Places

The Tomb of Mary, the mother of Jesus, is marked by one of Jerusalem's most venerable churches, located in the Kidron Valley, at the foot of the Mount of Olives near the Garden of Gethsemane.

Christians built the first house of prayer here 1,500 years ago over a stone crypt visitors can still see.

Todays church dates from around 1130, and its decor reveals its present congregation is of Eastern Christian denominations.
