Some pictures of the Church of Saint Mary Magdalene on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. The church includes the Convent of Saint Mary Magdalene, a monastic sisterhood that falls under the jurisdiction of the ROCOR. It is close to the Garden of Gethsemane and holds the relics of Saint Elizabeth Feodorovna and Saint Varvara Yakovleva, two Russian nuns who were martyred by the Bolsheviks.

"I took this step only out of deep faith and I feel that I must appear before God with a pure and believing heart. […] You say that the outward brilliance of the church fascinated me. In this you are wrong. Nothing external attracts me, and not worship - but the foundation of faith. External signs only remind me of the internal.”

-Saint Elizabeth the new martyr in a letter to her father asking for his blessing to convert to the Orthodox faith.
