There are two major churches of St John the Baptist in the town. Best-known is the Catholic Church of the Nativity of St John, identifiable by its tall tower topped by a round spire. It is also called “St John in the mountains”, a reference to the “hill country” of the Scripture.
The church combines remnants of many periods. An early church on this site was used by Muslim villagers for their livestock before the Franciscans recovered it in the 17th century. The Franciscans built the present church with the help of the Spanish monarchy.
The high altar is dedicated to St John. To the right is Elizabeth’s altar. To the left are steps leading down to a natural grotto — identified as John’s birthplace and believed to be part of his parents’ home.
A chapel beneath the porch contains two tombs. An inscription in a mosaic panel reads, in Greek, “Hail martyrs of God”. Whom it refers to is unknown.
The other church, built in 1894, is Eastern Orthodox

Is in the renovation. It must be nice place, but currently not. There shall be very nice paintings, even el Greco, but not now. (Nov 2019)

Beautiful church. Very different from all the others. Looks Portuguese in a way.

The church is lovely but we went for coffee at the cafe and sat in the garden. It was lovely, quiet, relaxing and peaceful. It is not Kosher and I have no idea about the quality of the food. It seems to target groups of Pilgrims and the posted menu was sparse. Ein Kerem has many options for coffee and light meals but I think this is a very special change of pace.

Yeshúa {יהשע} not only is completely far from this building but he also abhors and despises any religious organization that beyond being apostate is homicidal and accessary to multiple crimes against individuals and against humanity.

He said about this kind of organisation: "YOU hypocrites, Isaiah aptly prophesied about YOU, when he said, ‘This people honors me with their lips, yet their heart is far removed from me. It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach commands of men as doctrines.'"

This Satanic organisation will be the first the Messiah will destroy.

Sacred place of worship. Should visit when in The Holy Land. The architecture is so well preserved, it helps us to feel those ancient holy days.

Rebuilt in 1679 with azulejos and 1939 by Barluzzi. Place of the canticle of Zachary, with lots of jewish ritual baths as for kohanim families around.
