Church of Saint John the Baptist
A Catholic church and monastery built over Byzantine and Crusader's chapels and dedicated to John the Baptist.
Inside the church is a cave where according to tradition was the birthplace of John the Baptist. John is an important figure in Christianity, and is regarded as the “forerunner” - since John Baptized Jesus, and proclaimed Jesus as the Messiah.
Luke 1 67-68: “And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people”.
Roman/Byzantine periods
The church and monastery were built over the ruins of ancient layers - Herodian, Roman, Byzantine, and Crusaders.
According to Christian traditions, the cave inside the church was the birthplace of John the Baptist, born to Zacharias the priest and Elizabeth's cousin of Mary. As per Luke 1,5: “…a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth”.
Byzantine period
The tradition of John’s birthplace started in the Byzantine period. It was mentioned in the accords “De situ Terrae Sanctae” of the pilgrim-archdeacon Theodosius (published in 530 AD).
The Byzantine ruins include two chapels - the “Martyrs chapel”, where the modern church is located, and another chapel under the southern side of the monastery. The Martyrs chapel refers to the children killed by Herod (Matthew 2 16:” Then Herod… slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under…”). A mosaic Greek inscription found here (“Hail! Martyrs of God”), located in front of the main altar of the modern church.
The Byzantine chapels were destroyed in the Samaritans revolt against the Christian-Byzantine Empire (529, 556).
Crusaders period
After regaining Jerusalem in 1104, the Crusaders rebuilt the chapel above the Byzantine ruins. The “Hospitallers” - the order of the Knights of the Hospital of Saint John - where behind the reconstruction, and are named after John.
It was destroyed in the 12th century and remained in ruins until the late Ottoman period.
Ottoman period
The Franciscan monks started to settle here in 1674 after Louis XIV arranged a permit from the Ottoman rulers. They purchased lands and houses, including the area of the monastery. The monastery was completed in 1895. The modern church was built in the second half of the 19th Century and completed in 1920. The construction was financed by the Spanish monarchs and since then the monastery is headed by the Spaniards.
The PEF report of 1881 described the church:
” ‘Ain Karim was given to the Franciscans through the influence of the Marquis de Nointal, Ambassador of Louis XIV. to the Sultan of Turkey…
The Church of the Baptist, in the village itself, is of Crusading origin ; but the interior has been covered with encaustic tiles, and none of the older work is recognizable. The dome rises from four heavy piers ; the grotto north of the high altar (at the east end of the church), is reached by seven steps ; it is said to be the birthplace of St. John. A bad copy of a Murillo is hung on the north side of the church, and much prized by the monks, who are chiefly Spaniards”.

Thank you Zahi for the wonderful video....I really enjoyed learning about the birth place of John the Baptist...I love ALL your videos, they are so informative!! Many blessings on you and the work you do! God bless, Leslie Carberry 🇮🇱❤️🙌
Zahi, I felt as though I was walking 2000 years to En Kerem along with you . Away from civilization along a pathway so close to Jerusalem on such a beautiful day…sharing your knowledge of the Torah, Mishnah and the Bible.Todah rabah!
This part of Jerusalem noone shows, and it will be so great to see more videos on the outskirts of the city
Lord in Your mercy, bless the person who helping us to see the these things to the World, help us walk through these ways in Jesus mighty name I pray Amen. And Amen
Our Blessed Mother possibly went along that same path on Her journey to help Elizabeth,if not exactly this then surely very similar.
God bless all 🙏🌹
Shalom Zahi, thank you for teaching us about Yochanan (John) as you traveled as Zacharias would have traveled home. It is a blessing to see with our eyes and hear it with our ears. Thank you for this blessing!

Just doing quick search, looks like St Maria went from Nazareth to Ain Karim. So the Holy Family may have done this trip twice, once in May and the other in December. Then they went to Egypt.
It reminds of Joseph going north from Hebron, Jacob's house to visit ten brothers in Shechem, where sheep grazing.
Both eras in biblical times had dangers to those who traveled. Joseph was sold into slavery by half brothers, and his rainbow like coat ruined with blood. ..tactile evidence the sons used for elderly Jacob to believe his favored son died.
Idea of killing, that fabrication used in the bible tradition story, tall tale cover up
comes about by relatable truth
unexplained tension, drop in world energy people feel...before many accidents happen...like animals interacting into people. Heart whispers quieted too much conscience loss.
I lived in Texas, US from nine months until 15 and felt as kid, Israel seemed similar, both had hill countries
and for TX had similar Mediterranean climate. Hope with forecast for several TX cities of 100°F 38°C from June through August, almost ninety days
gets relieved through
thinking and praying. Thinking praying. And thinking praying. 😣🤔😥🤕

How would they know it’s j the babtist home ?? Hmm.
Tradition.
Mothers as a likely hood will live longer than the father. Who will take care of mother? Joseph died in a accident before the death of Christ. Who was asked to take care of her?

@@zahishaked there's never been a man by the name Jesus Moses Aaron John or any other biblical characters who never walked the face of the Earth it's mythology bro and belief they call it religious tradition just the fake Jews trying to legitimize the Zionist cabal fake stories Zion is a myth that never was meant to be a physical place on Earth ...
O Mary conceived without sin,pray for us who have recourse to Thee 🙏🌹
