Dominus Flevit: X marks the spot, but which spot?

December 2, 2014March 10, 2019kenritley

DominusFlevit

No – the “x” does not mark the golden dome of the famous Dome of the Rock.

Surprisingly, the most interesting feature of the Church of Dominus Flevit on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem is not very well known: the nave does not point east, but rather it is perfectly situated so that the cross in the window points exactly at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.

Interesting things, Israel
