St Joseph’s Church

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:41:23

Across the courtyard from the upper level of the Basilica of the Annunciation, this neo-Romanesque Franciscan church, built in 1914, occupies a site believed by popular tradition to be that of Joseph’s carpentry workshop. It was built on top of the remains of a Crusader church. Down in the crypt, signs explain in situ archaeological discoveries.
