Wednesday October 30, 2013 St Peter in Gallicantu church

We visited St. Peter in Gallicantu, site of Caiafas' palace, outside Zion's Gate and near Dormition Abbey. This is a traditional site where Peter denied Jesus 3 times, fulfilling Jesus' prophecy about Peter.
 
Looking from St. Peter in Gallicantu to where Judas may have hanged himself after betraying Jesus.


Entrance to the church at St Peter in Gallicantu.

This stained glass is in the top of the church, looking up from the center of the building.

Looking toward the front of the church

 This mosaic of 3 crosses is from the Byzantine period when the Roman Empire was in Constantinople.

 Looking down the stairs outside the church. Is this where Peter denied Jesus?
