Occupied Jerusalem- The Church of Christ is located inside the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem, near the Bab Al -Khalil, and it was built to be a spiritual house for Jesus’ disciples, and it is the first Protestant Church in the city of Jerusalem, and is located in front of the Ottoman Castle.
The Church was founded in the first half of the 19th century, opened in 1849, and was built with the support of the “London Association for the Promotion of Christianity among the Jews”, a missionary association that believes that in order for Christ to return to Jerusalem, the Jews must become Christian.
The church was distinguished by its simple design and suitable for neighboring buildings, as it was built in the new Gothic style, which resembles the churches of the Middle Ages in Britain, but its interior design is unique, so there is no single cross in the decoration of the building.
as The facade of the building does not contain public Christian symbols, and the only explicit Christian symbols in the church are the inscriptions of the words of Jesus and the doctrine of the Apostles in the Hebrew language on the eastern wall.
Stone construction constructions were brought in stone from Malta to build the new Gothic Temple, which simulates other Anglican churches in architectural terms.
