The opening as it read in 2025
Church in Mount of Olives The Church of the Pater Noster ( French : Église du Pater Noster ) is a Roman Catholic church located on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem . It is part of a Carmelite monastery of cloistered nuns , also known as the Sanctuary of the Eleona . The Church of the Pater Noster stands next to the ruins of the 4th-century Late Roman/Early Byzantine Church of Eleona . The ruins of the Eleona were rediscovered in the 20th century and its walls were partially rebuilt. Today, France administers the land on which both churches and the entire monastery are standing, following the Ottoman capitulations , as the Eleona Domain ( French : Domaine de l'Éléona ), part of the French national domain in the Holy Land , which has been formalised by the Fischer-Chauvel Agreement of 1948-49, though the agreement has not been ratified by Israel's Knesset .
