Information and Review of the St. Mark’s Syriac Orthodox Church
St. Marks belongs to one of the most ancient Christian denominations in the Holy Land: the Syriac Orthodox.
A tradition developed in antiquity that the Last Supper and the first speaking in tongues, also marked on nearby Mount Zion, took place at John Marks house.

The inscription is in Syriac, a language akin to the Aramaic that Jesus spoke, and that is still spoken by the community.
