A fascinating mosaic and worth spending time to understand it. Light levels can make it difficult to photograph.

This church is still used for worship so please take the visiting hours into consideration. Small and nice mosaic work on the walls and columns (mainly modern panels and icons). Perhaps the most impressive feature is the mosaic floor with a medieval map of the Levant at the time of the Crusades. Entry is not included with the Jordan Pass.

Nice church with impressive mosaic on the ground floor! Nice mosaic on the walls complement the visit. Pretty small so the entire visit will take about 15 mins.
