Christ Church, Anglican church in Nazareth, Israel.
Description
Christ Church is an Anglican church building in Nazareth, designed by architect Ferdinand Stadler. The structure displays Gothic Revival features including pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and substantial stone walls.
History
The church opened in October 1871 and became the second Anglican church established in the Holy Land following the one in Jerusalem. It introduced a new religious presence to this ancient city.
Culture
The congregation consists of around forty Arab Palestinian families who gather for worship. This community shapes the character of the place and contributes to the religious diversity found in Nazareth.
