I fully agree with Abraham Oomen that (his quote) "This place has witnessed some of the most important events of early Christianity- including Jesus' last supper, Jesus' appearance to disciples after his resurrection- 2 times, Pentecost, selection of St.Mathias, the place where St.Peter went after angel released him from jail, St.Mary got baptized etc. As Pentecost happened here, this place is admired as the first Church in the world".
The church is a hidden gem in the Armenian quarter of the old city. It's main attraction is an underground crypt which by local tradition was the home of Saint Mark. While the architetcure does not really look Roman, perhaps the location is correst.
Had been blessed to be here on 2008 April. This place has witnessed some of the most important events of early Christianity- including Jesus' last supper, Jesus' appearance to disciples after his resurrection- 2 times, Pentecost, selection of St.Mathias, the place where St.Peter went after angel released him from jail, St.Mary got baptized etc. As Pentecost happened here, this place is admired as the first Church in the world.
Currently it is administered by the Jerusalem Archbishop of Syriac Orthodox Church. Still so many miracles happen in this hard- to-find monastery in the old city.
