  • Pilgrimage to the Holy Land – Israel (Con’T)
    Pilgrimage to the Holy Land – Israel (Con’t) 163. Drive to Mount of Olives. View from the road of eastern side. 164. Mount of Olives, Church of the Ascension. Currently run by the Muslims, thus our guide did not take us inside. This was the place where Jesus ascended into the heavens. There is a footprint marking the spot! 165. On Mount of Olives, looking toward the Old City of Jerusalem in the background. The mountain is first mentioned in the Bible when King David, fleeing from Absalom, “went up by the ascent of Mount Olivet” (2 Samuel 15:30). During Second Temple times, Jewish pilgrims would bring their red heifers here to be burnt for the ashes of purification (Leviticus 16; Heb. 9:13) and signal fires were lit at the new moon to inform Jews of the new month’s coming. Here Ezekiel viewed the heavenly chariots, and Zechariah (14:4) prophesied the End of Days: “And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives.” https://youtu.be/0n8lBAJp01w (Mount Olives, Jerusalem) 166. The prominent feature of the view is the Dome of the Rock, the Muslim mosque that now stands on the Temple Mount where the Temple of Solomon and the Second Temple once stood. "Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a Sabbath day’s journey” (Acts 1:12). Sabbath day's journey definition - It is supposed to be a distance of 2,000 cubits, or less than half-a-mile, the distance to which, according to Jewish tradition, it was allowable to travel on the Sabbath day without violating the law (Acts 1:12; comp.

  • The Central Synagogue of Nazareth Illit and Its Architectural Dialogue with Nazareth’S Basilica of the Annunciation ✉ Naomi Simhony 1
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-020-00660-2 OPEN The Central Synagogue of Nazareth Illit and its architectural dialogue with Nazareth’s Basilica of the Annunciation ✉ Naomi Simhony 1 The hometown of Jesus, Nazareth, is an international center of Christian pilgrimage that has capitalized on showcasing its sacred sites. Architect Antonio Barluzzi was commissioned to 1234567890():,; design Nazareth’s modern Basilica of the Annunciation in 1954, and a cornerstone for the project was laid in a well-attended ceremony. It seems that the establishment of the modern church was the catalyst for the eagerness with which the Israeli authorities approached establishing a Jewish monument in the region. In 1957, a design process for the Central Synagogue in Nazareth Illit (subsequently renamed Nof HaGalil) began, with the aim of proudly competing with the churches and mosques in the Nazareth region. Both the basilica and the synagogue were erected by Israeli construction firm Solel Boneh and were inaugurated in 1968 and 1969, respectively. This article examines the impact of the inception, estab- lishment and building of Nazareth’s Basilica of the Annunciation on the drive to strengthen Jewish presence in the Nazareth region, which in turn stood behind the construction of the Nazareth Illit synagogue. This research is based on a comparative investigation of the his- tories of both structures, including early design proposals, architecture, and the religious artworks therein. This comparative investigation reveals the influence of the basilica on the synagogue and the shared aspects of their design and execution. While existing literature dedicated to the Central Synagogue in Nazareth Illit has focused on its significance and meaning as an Israeli architectural landmark, this article presents a new perspective, examining how a modern architectural trend was used as an agent in the struggle between local Jewish and Christian monumental dominance.

  • Custos of the Holy Land and Patriarch at the Second Vatican Council
    A biographical profile of Bishop Alberto Gori Custos of the Holy Land and Patriarch at the Second Vatican Council by Paolo Pieraccini Last November marked the fortieth anniversary of the death of Alberto Gori, Custos of the Holy Land (1937-1949) and Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem (1950-1970). Born in San Piero Agliana (Pistoia, Italy) on 9th February 1889, he put on his Franciscan habit on 27th September 1907 in the Tuscan province of St. Bonaventure, which was particularly lively from the intellectual point of view. He completed his grammar school studies in the convent of Fiesole, his philosophical studies in Siena and theological studies in Signa, where he was ordained a priest on 19th July 1914. After having served in the war as a military chaplain, he asked to be sent to serve in the Custody 1. On 8th February 1919 he arrived in Jerusalem, where he was assigned to the service of the Holy Sepulchre. In 1922, the Discretorium of the Holy Land decided to send him to Aleppo to teach classics and as Deputy Headmaster of the prestigious College of Higher Studies, founded by the Custody in 1859 to give “a very scrupulous scientific and moral education” to pupils of all religious confessions. The next year, he became the headmaster of the school, remaining in office for fifteen years, in time to see several of his pupils take up important positions in Syrian politics and public administration. On 22nd February 1937, the General Definitorium of the Order of Friars Minor chose him for the position of Custos.

  • Robert Ousterhout
    Robert Ousterhout A NEW ‘NEW JERUSALEM’ FOR JERUSALEM In his biography of Constantine, Eusebius called the church of the Holy Sepulchre “the New Jerusalem, facing the far-famed Jerusalem of olden time”1. He thus contrasted the glorious new imperial building at the site of the Tomb of Christ with the ruins of the Jewish Temple on the opposite side of the city (fig. 1). The exact nature of Constantine’s “New Jerusalem” is far from clear, although its basic components are known. The fourth-century complex isolated the most significant holy sites — Calvary and the Tomb — and established the basic architectural features to glorify them. The vast complex of buildings consisted of an atrium, a five-aisled basilica with its apse oriented to the west, a porticoed courtyard with the rock of Calvary in the southeast corner, and, finally, the great Rotunda of the Anastasis (Resurrection), housing the Tomb of Christ2. Following damage and repair in the seventh and tenth centuries, the church complex was destroyed in 1009 and subsequently rebuilt with the financial support of the Byzantine 1 Eusebius. Vita Constantini 3.25 / Trans. J. Wilkinson, Egeria’s Travels (3rd ed., Warmin- ster: Aris & Phillips, 2002), 144. 2 The standard monograph remains Vincent H. and Abel F.-M. Jérusalem nouvelle. Paris, 1914, vol. 2. The history of the building is summarized in Ousterhout R.

  • In the Footsteps of the Virgin Mary, the Mother of Jesus, Who Was Born, Lived and Whose Life Most Probably Ended in the Holy Land
    Introduction For the Catholic visitor, a pilgrimage to the Holy Land can be a spiritual journey of reaffirmation and discovery. To stand within the historical landscape, to visit the holy places and sites mentioned in the Bible and the shrines associated with the life and ministry of Jesus, will provide inspiration for the inner, spiritual journey that each pilgrim hopes to experience during his or her stay. Following a specific theme and narrative will help accomplish this. One such pilgrimage follows in the footsteps of the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus, who was born, lived and whose life most probably ended in the Holy Land. Though she experienced the ultimate sorrow of a mother in witnessing the passion and death of her son, a pilgrimage in her honor is a joyous event for she was blessed by the grace of God, as it is written in the Gospel: "Rejoice, you who enjoy God's favor! The Lord is with you." (Luke 1:28)1 In experiencing the presence of the Virgin Mary in the Mystery of Jesus and in the Church, the pilgrim may choose to visit those sites directly associated with her life, or to broaden that experience with an expanded pilgrimage program. The following information provides a list of holy places and sites directly associated with Mary, with descriptions and practical information to help the visitor and pilgrimage organizer. Unless otherwise noted, all dates are CE (Common Era) The proposed itineraries include suggestions for organizing activities that will give added dimension to a pilgrimage honoring the Virgin Mary.

  • Barluzzi, an Architect-Mystic. the Gaudí of the Holy Land
    HOLY SITES Barluzzi, an architect-mystic. The Gaudí of the Holy Land CULTURE 16-12-2020 Nicola Bux Architect Antonio Barluzzi, the mind and hand behind the most renowned churches built during the last century by the custodian Franciscans at the Holy Sites, passed away on 14 December 1960 in the Delegation of the Holy Land, not far from St. John Lateran in Rome. Fr. Virgilio Corbo, the archaeologist well known for the excavations at Capernaun, recalled how Antonio Barluzzi considered his work as an architect in the Holy Land to be much like a mission entrusted to him by heaven above. He dedicated himself to that mission with the heart and soul of an artist, exploring the mysteries of the redemption in the quest for that inspiration whereby architecture could express the sense of mystery in an immediate way. Upon his arrival in the Holy Land in 1917, the task given to him was to build the Basilica of the Transfiguration on Mount Tabor in Galilee, and he worked on it from 1919 to 1924. This holy place of worship evoked Roman-Syriac architecture. Standing out on the façade is an elaborately sculptured arch supported by two towers, thereby forming the narthex, with the skies above as a vault and a solemn portal as a backdrop. These two towers connect the central part of the basilica with the two preexisting chapels of Moses and Eliah. The basilica has three naves with massive pillars and robust arches, while the ceiling with trusses towers over the windows interspersed by columns. A twelve step stairway leads down to the crypt, where preserved is the peak of the sacred mount (visible under crystal panels), the holy place where the Lord was transfigured and engaged in conservation with Moses and Eliah while Peter, James and John looked on in a state of deep rapture.
