Church of the Holy Archangels
Location of Church of the Holy Archangels in a detailed map of the monastery compound.
The Church of the Holy Archangels (Armenian : Սրբոց Հրեշտակապետաց եկեղեցի , romanized : Srbots Hreštakapetats yekeğetsi ), also known as Deir ez-Zeitun (دير الزيتون Dayr az-Zaytūn , "Monastery of the Olive Tree"),[2] is an Armenian Orthodox Christian church in the Armenian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem .
Traditions [ edit ]
According to a tradition, this site was the house of High Priest Annas , although earlier traditions also placed the house at different sites, such as on Jehoshaphat Street [3] or on Mount Zion .[4]
One of the chambers supposedly was the prison of Christ.[5] [6] However, the gospels have divergent accounts about whether Jesus was brought to Annas' or Caiaphas' house/court. Therefore, the Armenian Monastery of Saint Saviour (the "House of Caiaphas") also has a prison of Christ.
History [ edit ]
The monastery was founded in the 12th or 13th century.[7]
