ASSIGNED BY Libris förlag

Jerusalem, a crossroads between the Orient and West, desert and coast, God and human. Contested, conquered and devastated. Divided and ruled by Christians, Jews and Muslims since ancient times.
In the book Faces of Jerusalem, for the first time, a comprehensive overview of the Christian presence in Jerusalem is given. Meet the Ethiopian nun Askela, the Armenian monk Avedis, Sister Vadja and Brother Tomas.

The book describes in a initiated way the historical origins of many churches, and unique images show environments that few have seen, through catacombs and ceremonies, but above all, we meet the people.
