JERUSALEM: Famous Saint George's ANGLICAN CATHEDRAL

St. George's Anglican Cathedral in Jerusalem - St. George's Episcopal Cathedral in Jerusalem. Let's visit St. George's Cathedral which is an Anglican (or, Episcopal) cathedral in Jerusalem and which was established in 1899. St. George's Anglican Cathedral is the seat of the Bishop of Jerusalem of the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East. St. George's Episcopal Cathedral is located about two hundred meters away from the Garden Tomb, a popular site of Anglican, as well as other Protestant, pilgrimage and devotion.
Today, along with the Cathedral Church of St George and the Pilgrim Guesthouse in Jerusalem, the site houses the Bishop’s residence, the Diocesan offices, and St George’s College, a residential education centre offering courses on the Holy Land to lay and clergy alike.
During the First World War most of the staff of St. George's Anglican Cathedral in Jerusalem were advised to leave by the British Foreign Office and the Cathedral and its Close were used by the Turks as a military depot and boarding house. The Bishop’s residence became the home and headquarters of Djemal Pasha, the Turkish General in Jerusalem.
