Back to Holy Sites Mount of Olives, Jerusalem

Dominus Flevit Church

The Lord wept here — a tear-shaped church overlooking Jerusalem.

About This Holy Site

Shaped like a teardrop to commemorate Jesus weeping over Jerusalem, this small chapel offers the most iconic view of the Old City. Through the altar window, the golden Dome of the Rock gleams — the very view Jesus saw when He prophesied the city's destruction. A place of profound sorrow and hope.
