The Russian Orthodox Alexander Hospice




Max and I visited the Russian Orthodox Alexander Hospice this morning. It contains both the hospice structure, with many fine formal rooms furnished by Tsar Nicholas II at the turn of the last century, as well as an amazing chapel, underground crypt, and an area where Roman arches have been excavated. This Church is also a shrine to one of the stations of the Cross on the Via Dolorosa.
