Designed Protestant church on Mount Zion, 1845. Creator: Unknown
Designed Protestant church on Mount Zion, 1845. For some time past, the London Society for Promoting Christianity among the Jews, have been sedulously labouring to complete the Church which they have commenced erecting at Jerusalem, but which, from various causes, has not been erected higher than six or seven feet above ground; although the depth underground, to the solid rock, on which the foundations are laid, in many places exceeds forty feet...The erection of a Church has since acquired additional importance from the need of a place of worship for the numbers of English and foreign Protestants who now frequent the Holy City...an English lady has undertaken to complete the Church, and endow it with an income of £ 100 per annum for a permanent minister, as well as to contribute the sum necessary to form a fund for keeping the Church in repair. From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the designed Protestant church on Mount Zion in 1845. The image captures the grandeur of this architectural masterpiece, which was a collaborative effort by the London Society for Promoting Christianity among the Jews. Despite facing several challenges, including limited progress in construction due to various reasons, this church holds immense significance. The need for a place of worship has grown exponentially as English and foreign Protestants flock to Jerusalem. In response to this demand, an English lady has taken up the responsibility of completing the church and ensuring its sustainability. She not only pledges an annual income of £100 for a permanent minister but also contributes towards establishing a fund dedicated to maintaining and repairing the structure. The neo-Gothic style of architecture adds an air of elegance and timelessness to this religious landmark nestled amidst Mount Zion's picturesque landscape. This engraving from "Illustrated London News" provides us with a glimpse into 19th-century Britain's dedication to spreading Christianity while honoring historical traditions. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by an unknown creator, we are reminded that religion knows no boundaries or limitations. It is through such endeavors that faith transcends geographical borders and brings people together in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. This photograph serves as both a testament to human perseverance and devotion while offering us a window into history's rich tapestry at one particular moment in time.
