    Guide

    Tower of David Jerusalem Museum staff

‌The Syriac community stands out due to its presence in Jerusalem since the days of Jesus. The Monastery of St. Mark in the Old City serves as a community center for Aramaic speakers, and it houses a small, impressive church. Interestingly, St. Mark’s also harbors a longtime tradition that Jesus’ Last Supper was held in its basement. Learn about this small, ancient community and get an inside look at its values, customs and traditions.
