AWESOME PAGE...SPIRIT OF THE HOLY LAND...OH HOW ONE DAY I WANT TO VISIT THIS PLACE! Per the SPIRIT OF THE HOLY LAND page: This lovely 12th century church, one of the very few that survived the Persian destruction in 614, marks the birth place of John. On the wall we see Zachariahs thanksgiving prayer -the Benedictus - in a great number of languages. The church stands on older remains and on the Crypt where John is said to have been born. In the Church we can see beautiful art all a gift of the Spanish Royal Family. The Royal family renovated the church in the 17th century and adopted it. They still support it.
