There are always two kinds of accounts of the place of the Virgin Mary's Sleeping Cathedral in Jerusalem, Israel, and Ephesus in Turkey. Not far from the Kassimani Garden, there is also a tomb of the Virgin Mary (Church). Orthodox believe that the Virgin Mary is buried in the tomb and ascended three days later. The Catholic Church believes that after Mary is asleep, the soul and body are directly taken away by the Lord and called to heaven. The Church of the Virgin Mary is located on Mount Zion. When Emperor William II came to Jesus Salem to worship the Savior Church in 1898, he paid a heavy price to buy the place from Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II, where it has been said to be the place where the Virgin slept. In 1899 architect Renard discovered the remains of the Byzantine church, and designed and built it here. The church of the Virgin Abedin has a special architectural style, with a blue conical roof surrounded by four small towers and a towering bell tower next to it. The light from the windows above the tall vaults gently shines into the church. The mosaic above the altar is painted as the Virgin and the young Jesus. The altar is surrounded by six arches, six altars, and the inner walls are painted with gold mosaic paintings depicting Jesus' family, bishops and saints. The spiral staircase leads to the underground church. In the middle of the underground church is the place to commemorate the death of the Virgin Mary, where the statue of the Virgin Mary sleeps, made of ivory and cherry wood. The bottom is surrounded by small altars, simple and solemn.

    The Ambassador of the Virgin Mary is another church of great significance in the Christian Church on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, Israel. It is shown that this is the place where the Virgin Mary rested, and a church has been built to commemorate it. There are mosaic stickers of the Virgin and the Son.

    In addition to traveling, most of Jerusalem is a pilgrimage, and the local Jews are even more convinced by this religious devotion. The Church of the Virgin Mary is said to rest here and finally for the final supper room.

    Out of the Zion Gate came the Sleeping Church of the Virgin Mary [Rose] It is said that this is the place of rest of the Virgin Mary, the church is full of mosaic paintings, the Virgin Mary and the young Jesus, painted below the eight prophets of Isaiah and Latin verses. The mosaic pattern in the chapel, divided into six small arches in the lobby, is one of the essence of the monastery, with the exquisite statue of the Virgin Mary sleeping in the middle of the underground church made of ivory and walnut

    A Benedictine church with a domed clock tower, the place where the Virgin Mary died, was told that mass was coming soon after we entered the church, so we had to speed up the visit. The guide led us into the basement of the church, where there was a statue of the reclining Virgin Mary entering eternal sleep, whether religious or not, and in such an environment and atmosphere, it was necessary to lower the decibels of speech, as if it would disturb anyone. The surrounding murals and sculptures are exquisite.
