The Visitation Church

The Visitation Church - an impressive church inside a beautiful building.

The place is essential to Christians because of two stories: according to Christian tradition, Miriam met her cousin Elisheva here, and Sarah thanked God. The psalm translations (the Magnificent) into 70 languages appear on ceramic panels that hang in the courtyard. Also, according to Christian belief, when Herod's soldiers wanted to kill, according to his order, children born in Bethlehem (because he heard that the Jewish Messiah was born), Elisheva hid John the Baptist there (who was a baby at the time).

The church is on the upper level, and they want to keep it quiet. Please respect this.
