St. George is a patron saint for the British. It is a cathedral, school and hostel for pilgrims. Lane and I stayed a couple of nights here on our first trip to Israel in 2000, when Lane was in Kuwait in a UN peace keeping mission for a year. We met in Jerusalem on that trip. This is the entry to the complex, except the school which is across the street. To the right is the hostel.
This is the interior. All the seat cushions are embroidered with various cities, counties and British family names. It was fun to wander around and see the diversity of England represented in the seat cushions
This is the main console of the pipe organ. There were more pipes tucked around the chapel.
We were surprised to find this baptismal font which looks to be deep enough to do baptisms by immersion...
Nice picture of Jeremy and Jeremy taking a photo of the organ.
