An inside look at the Little Galilee Monastery in Jerusalem.

We invite you to witness this unique inside view of the Viri Galilaei Monastery in Jerusalem where devoted Christians are greeted by a depth of spirituality, serenity and peace that permeate throughout the grounds.

The Monastery belongs to the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem.
In this video Sister Daniela describes her love, devotion, and passion not only for the Monastery but for the land itself, which she so proudly cares for and looks after.

The discovery of small rock remains, including the remains of a mosaic floor in the small chapel, have been found throughout the grounds dating back to the 5th Century. Mosaic floors were commonly used as decorative elements in places of worship.

The ascension of Jesus Christ is believed to have occurred from the Mount of Olives, where the Viri Galilaei Monastery is located.

The presence of God and the Virgin Mary are felt throughout carrying a special spiritual presence and connection to the divine.

It is believed that in the small chapel within the Monastery is where Angel Gabriel appeared to the Virgin Mary before her Blessed Dormition to give her a branch of a palm tree and told her in three days, she will join her Son and God in Heaven

Today, the Monastery is visited by many devoted Christians worldwide, including Serbian pilgrims seen in this video. Pilgrimages provide an opportunity for spiritual reflection, prayer, and connecting with traditions.
