Churches & Monasteries

Ein Kerem is traditionally identified as the birthplace of St. John the Baptist and the site of the Visitation. The village houses several significant religious landmarks, including the Franciscan Church of the Visitation and St. John Baharim. The hillside is marked by the distinctive gold domes of the Russian Orthodox Gornensky Convent and the 19th-century Notre Dame de Sion convent. These sites represent a diverse collection of Catholic, Russian Orthodox, and Greek Orthodox architectural styles and historical traditions.
