The Dominus Flevit Church is located on the Mount of Olives immediately facing the Old City of Jerusalem. The name Dominus Flevit, translates from Latin as "The Lord Wept". The church is fashioned in the shape of a teardrop. This is a reminder of Jesus weeping as recorded in Luke 19:41.
The Dominus Flevit Church is one of the newest churches in Jerusalem. However, it sits atop an ancient site. During construction of the sanctuary archeologists uncovered artifacts dating back to the Canaanite period, as well as tombs from both the Second Temple and Byzantine eras. Also unearthed was a 7th century Byzantine shrine, of which some mosaics remain.
The church is currently held in trust by the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land.
