The Cloister of the Pater Noster in Jerusalem
At the top of the Mount of Olives, close the Russian Tower, stands the Basilica of the Sacred Heart.
The Russian Tower is the slim spire of a Russian monastery. In one of its rooms one can see a beautiful mosaic floor with an Armenian inscription, dating from the sixth century, when it was part of an Armenian monastery.
The Basilica of the Sacred Heart, built in 1920, is located near the old Basilica Eleona, built by Saint Helen, mother of Emperor Constantine.
Adjacent to the basilica is the Cloister of the Pater Noster built over the site where Jesus taught His disciples the Lord's Prayer.
The walls are decorated with 44 ceramic tiles, each one inscribed with the Lord's Prayer in a different language.
At the top of the Mount of Olives and very close to the Cloister of the Pater Noster, stands the Monastère des Bénédictines de Notre Dame du Calvaire .
