Beautiful window in the church of Dormition in Jerusalem.
A silhouette photo of a beautiful window inside the church of Dormition in Jerusalem. A few words about the Christians traditions point to Mount Zion as the place where the Virgin Mary, Mother of Christ, is said to have fallen asleep for the last time, and this is where the Benedictine Basilica of the Dormition (Dormition Abby) was errected. In the basement of the Abby there is a statue of the sleeping Holy Mother. The Dormition Abbey is a massive structure, just outside the Zion Gate, and resembles a mighty fortress; it is topped by a high, domed belltower, a conical dome and corner towers. "The Dormition Abby was completed by Kaiser Wilhelm II between 1906 and 1910, on land given to him by the Turkish Sultan Chamid as a gift. The Church is based on plans by Heinrich Renard who used as a model the Carolingian cathedral of Aix-la-Chapelle"
