Historical Background
1. The Pool of Bethesda marks the place where a sick man was healed.
2. Bethesda means “House of Mercy.”
3. There were two large cisterns by the Pool of Bethesda that supplied water to the temple during the times of the first and second temples until the time Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD.
4. Beside the cisterns were the Pool of Bethesda and a healing center. There was also a sheep market and a sheep gate close-by.
5. After the destruction of Jerusalem, the Pool of Bethesda was the location of a temple to Asclepius, the Roman god of healing.
6. A Byzantine basilica was built over the ruins of the Temple of Asclepius in the 5th century, and today the arches that supported the floors can still be seen.
7. The Crusaders built a chapel over the ruins of the Byzantine basilica.
8. A church built around 450 on the site of St Anne’s Church was dedicated to the believed place Mary, the mother of Jesus, was born.
9. The current church of St. Anne was built in the 12th century by the Crusaders and is one of the most beautiful and preserved Crusader churches in Israel.
10. Christian tradition identifies St. Anne’s Church as the home of Anne (Hannah) and Joachim, the parents of Mary, mother of Jesus.
11. In 1192, after the fall of the Crusader Kingdom, Saladin turned the church into a theological school for the study of the Quran, which is commemorated in an inscription above the entrance to the church.
12. In the 19th century, the compound was given to the French Catholic Order of the White Fathers.
13. France did extensive restoration work on the church, returning it as closely as possible to the original basilica. A second restoration was necessary after the church was damaged during the Six Day War in 1967.
