Church of Bethphage

The Church of Bethphage, also spelled Beitphage, meaning "house of the unripe figs", is a Franciscan church on the Mount of Olives outside historical Jerusalem. It contains a stone traditionally identified as the one which Jesus used to mount the donkey at the start of his triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The church, part of a monastery, is now located in at-Tur, a neighborhood of East Jerusalem.
