The Russian Convent of the Ascension on Mount of Olives in Jerusalem
The Russian Convent of the Ascension is located at the highest point on Mount of Olives, and it is about 200 meters from the Chapel of the Ascension – the rock which marks the spot on earth from where Jesus ascended body fully to heaven.
The convent of the Ascension is one of the first Russian compounds in the Holy Land.
The convent was founded in 1870 by Archimandrite Antonine Kapustin. While he was planting trees, he found a mosaic of a byzantine church dated to the 6th and 7th century, burial caves, an upper part of the status of Herod the Great, and other archeological findings. The tomb of Kapustin is located inside the main church.

Mount of Olives, Jerusalem, Israel (10 Day DIY trip to Holy Land)
Mount of Olives, one of three hills on a long ridge to the east of Jerusalem, is the location of many biblical events. On Day 2 of trip to Israel, we visited Mount of Olives and churches including Dome/Chapel of the Ascension, Dominus Flevit, Church of Pater Noster, Tomb of Prophets, Garden of Gethsemane, Church of All Nations and Mary’s Tomb.
Significance of Mount of Olives in The Bible
The daily route Jesus took in and out of the city passed over the Mount of Olives. From ancient times the revered rise overlooking Jerusalem from east was seen with importance.
The Mount of Olives is a mountain ridge east of and adjacent to Jerusalem’s Old City.
It is named for the olive groves that once covered its slopes.
The Mount has been used as a Jewish cemetery for over 3,000 years and holds approximately 150,000 graves, making it central in the tradition of Jewish cemeteries.
There are totally 7 churches and thousands of tombs in the Mount of Olives and the view of Jerusalem old city from Mount of Olives is the best. When touring the Mount of Olives, it’s best to drive to the top and work your way down, since the climb from the lowest point to the top is quite steep.
The Mount of Olives is frequently mentioned in the New Testament as part of the route from Jerusalem to Bethany and the place where Jesus stood when he wept over Jerusalem.
Mount of Olives: the place where Jesus will return!
The Mount of Olives is a very special place in Jerusalem, Israel. It is the place where Jesus prayed before he was arrested, specifically in the Garden of Gethsemane at the foot of the mountain. It was also the place where he ascended to heaven. And Old Testament prophet Zechariah says in chapter 14 that this mountain is also the place where Messiah will return.
Watch this short study by Pastor Sebastiaan van Wessem of Celebration Church and KNGDM Alliance as he explains what Mount of Olives is all about!

Dominus Flevit Church Mount Olives - The Lord Wept
Today we are visiting the Dominus Flevit Church Mount Olives where The Lord Wept. When Jesus during his procession to Jerusalem has reached this point where it is today the Dominus Flevit Church Jerusalem, he sees the breathtaking sights of the Temple Mount and Jerusalem at his feet. At this moment Jesus seized by dreadful premonition of the complete destruction of Jerusalem and its people and weep over it. A fairly accurate description of the actual destruction of the Second Temple uttered about 40 years later on.
At this point we have today the Franciscan Church Dominus Flevit Jerusalem which was designed by the famous Italian Architect Antonio Barluzzi and was built between 1953 and 1955.
The Chapel of Dominus Flevit Jerusalem is built in the shape of a Greek Cross but in order to give the church a unique touch, Barluzzi designed the Dome of the church in the shape of a tear and also added phials on the corners as the women of antiquity used to catch and store tears -Symbolizing Jesus tears as he sees the destruction of Jerusalem.
Now let's enter the Sanctury Dominis Flevit Jerusalem. As you can see, what is unique about this church structure is that the apse is facing to the West instead of to the East, and a large window in the western wall, framing the view like a beautiful landscape painting. Now when a priest is conducting a Mass, he stand in the same direction as Jesus did when he mourned Jerusalem's fate.
The current Dominus Flevit the Lord wept church stands on the ruins of a 7th-century church, some mosaics of which still remain and embedded in the floor of the current church.
Below the altar which is facing the Old city there is a mosaic picture of a hen and her chicks echoing Jesus' worlds:
....I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing (Luke 13:34).
Dominus Flevit | Mount of Olives Jerusalem
Dominus Flevit , Mount of Olives Jerusalem
Dominus Flevit- From Latin The Lord Wept.
Built by Italian architect Antonio Barluzzi in 1955, the Dominus Flevit Church is located on Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.
According to the tradition, Jesus stopped here on the Mount of Olives during His triumphant ride toward Jerusalem. Jesus was overwhelmed by the beauty of the Second Temple and He wept when He predicted its future destruction.
The teardrop-shaped church, symbolizing the tears of Jesus Christ.

Jerusalem is the religious and historical epicenter of the world. A surreal and vibrant city, holy to Jews, Muslims, and Christians – over one-third of all the people on the earth. Jerusalem is as unique as she is special. Beyond her religious and historic significance, Jerusalem is the capital of modern-day Israel and an advanced, dynamic city. Jerusalem has to be seen to be believed. Exploring Jerusalem solo is fantastic, and if it’s your first time visiting this glorious place, a tour of Jerusalem is a must. With so much to see and know, having an experienced guide with you is indispensable and worth every penny.
The Old City of Jerusalem is full of the historic and religious elements that make this city so special. The one-square-kilometer walled area is central to Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. The Western Wall in the Jewish Quarter is the last remaining wall of the Jewish Temple compound. Also, it is the holiest site in Judaism. Jesus died, was buried and resurrected in Jerusalem. The Church of the Sepulchre in the Old City is shared between many denominations. In Islam, Jerusalem is said to be from where Muhammad rose into the heavens. The Dome of the Rock makes this city the third holiest for Muslims.
The Old City of Jerusalem is one of the most intense places on Earth! At the heart of the Jewish, Islamic, and Christian religions, this one-kilometer, area in the center of Jerusalem is beyond words and cannot be missed. The Old City is home to the Western Wall (aka Wailing Wall and in Hebrew Kotel). This is the last remaining wall of what was once the Jewish Temple. It is today the holiest site in the world for Jews.
Above the Western Wall lies the Dome of the Rock, which is important for Muslims as the site where the prophet Muhammad was thought to rise to heaven. Just a few minutes’ walk away lies the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. This is where some believe Jesus was crucified and buried.

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered licensed tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this calling in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, glide over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water, and see the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many-faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be implanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.

Church of the Pater Noster, Mount of Olives, Jerusalem
The Church of the Pater Noster is a partially reconstructed Roman Catholic church located on the Mount of Olives, north of the Tombs of the Prophets, in Jerusalem. It stands on the traditional site of Christ's teaching of the Lord's Prayer. (Luke 11:2-4)
The modern church is built on the site of a 4th century basilica designed by Constantine I to commemorate the Ascension of Jesus Christ. It was built under the direction of Constantine's mother Helena in the early 4th century, who named it the Church of the Disciples. The pilgrim Egeria was the first to refer to it as the church of the Eleona, meaning olive grove in the late 4th century. The church is mentioned by the Bordeaux pilgrim in the Itinerarium Burdigalense circa 333, and the historian Eusebius of Caesarea recounts that Constantine constructed a church over a cave on the Mount of Olives that had been linked with the Ascension.[1] The 2nd century Acts of John mention the existence of a cave on the Mount of Olives associated with the teachings of Jesus, but not specifically the Lord's Prayer. The church survived intact until it was destroyed by Persians in 614. The memory of Jesus' teaching remained associated with this site, and during the crusades it became exclusively associated with the teaching of the Lord's Prayer. Christian crusaders constructed a small oratory amid the ruins in 1106, and a full church was constructed in 1152 thanks to funds donated by the Bishop of Denmark, who is buried inside the church. The crusader era church was heavily damaged during the Siege of Jerusalem in 1187, eventually being abandoned and falling into ruin in 1345. In 1851 the remaining stones of the 4th-century church were sold for tombstones in the Valley of Jehoshaphat. The site was acquired by the Princesse de la Tour d'Auvergne in the late 19th century and a search for the cave mentioned by early pilgrims began. In 1868 she built a cloister modeled on the Campo Santo at Pisa, Italy and founded a Carmelite convent in 1872. In 1910 the foundations over the cave were found partly beneath the cloister. The convent was moved nearby and reconstruction of the Byzantine church began in 1915. The church remains unfinished.
The 4th-century Byzantine church has been partially reconstructed and provides a good sense of what the original was like. The churches dimensions are the same as the original and the garden outside the three doors outlines the atrium area. The church is unroofed and has steps that lead into a grotto where some Christians believe that Jesus revealed to his disciples his prophesy of the destruction of Jerusalem and the second coming. Unfortunately the cave containing the grotto partially collapsed when it was discovered in 1910. It also cuts partly into a 1st century tomb. Left of the church's south door is a baptistery paved with mosaic. The cloister is of European style and contains plaques that bear the Lord's Prayer in over 100 different languages.[2] A road to the right of the convent leads to the Russian Church of the Ascension and Byzantine tomb chapels with some Armenian mosaics are preserved in a small museum
