Russian Orthodox Church of St: Mary Magdalene, Gethsemane, Jerusalem.

Built in 1888 by Russian Czar Alexander III in memory of his mother Maria Alexandrovna, and named for her patron saint, Mary Magdalene. It now enshrines the tomb of his sister-in-law, the Saintly Duchess Elizabeth Fyodorovna and her sister, St: Barbara.
