Church of Mary Magdalene

The Church of Mary Magdalene is an Eastern Orthodox Christian church located on the Mount of Olives, directly across the Kidron Valley from the Temple Mount and near the Garden of Gethsemane in Jerusalem.

The church, dedicated to Mary Magdalene, is part of the Convent of St. Mary Magdalene, a sisterhood established in 1936 by an English convert, and since the 1920s has been under the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, an independent ecclesiastical entity until 2007 and part of the Moscow-based Russian Orthodox Church since then.
