Russian Church of St. Mary Magdalene






As you approach the bottom of the Kidron Valley you will see the stunning golden domes of the Russian Church of St. Mary Magdelene. Founded in the 1880’s by Tsar Alexander III, this church is set among many trees and is very peaceful. As we left the precinct of the Church we heard from many points the Muslim call to noon prayer.
