The Roman Catholic Church of the Pater Noster (Our Father) stands on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem alongside the ruins of the 4th century Church of Eleona; a Carmelite monastery; cloisters and a cave where Jesus is believed to have taught his apostle the Lord’s Prayer. The 2nd century apocryphal Acts of John mentions a cave on the Mt. of Olives where Jesus taught God’s word. The cave would have existed in Jesus’ lifetime and would have been a convenient site where Jesus and his disciples could have found a quiet, sheltered spot to learn the Lord’s Prayer.
History of the Site of the Pater Noster
The Church of Eleona was commissioned by the Christian Roman Emperor, Constantine I to commemorate the site of Christ’s ascension to heaven and was eventually destroyed in 614 by the Persians. In the 12th century, the Crusaders associated the site with the teaching of the Lord’s Prayer and built a church partially funded by the Bishop of Denmark who was buried here with his butler. The Crusader church fell into ruins in the 14th century. In the 19th century, the stones from the ruined church were taken and used as headstones.
Princess Aurelia Bossi de la Tour d’Auvergne
The French Princess Aurelia Bossi bought the land in 1868 and had a Carmelite convent and cloisters built. In 1872 she founded a Carmelite convent and began reconstruction of the ruined Byzantine church in 1874. Due to a lack of funds, the project was halted and remains incomplete. The cave where Jesus taught was uncovered in 1910 in the crypt of the former 4th-century church.

According to her wishes, Princess Aurelia Bossi is buried in a tomb at the entrance to the current church. In 1920 construction began on a new church over the sacred cave – the Sacred Heart, but the project was stopped leaving it without a roof and only partial walls. Today the walls of the convent church, cloisters and the surviving walls of the 4th century Eleona Church are covered with ceramic plaques engraved with the Lord’s Prayer in 140 languages.

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered licensed tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.

Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.

In order to fulfill this "calling" in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)

Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church.
