Basilica of St. Stephen...

Or St. Étienne, if you'll excuse my French:

This church is located only a couple of blocks from the Albright and is run by the (ahem) religieux dominicains. It is most famous for housing the relics of Stephen, the first Christian martyr (Acts 7:55-60), which were transferred here at the time of the church's dedication in AD 439. That's him on the statue with the date AD 460 written below, which is the year of a second dedication ceremony.

The church has seen its share of changes: it was first destroyed in AD 614, after which the site was rebuilt as a leprosarium until AD 1099, when the Crusaders rebuilt it as a church. Then less than a hundred years later the Crusaders themselves destroyed the church rather than let it come under the control of the Muslim general Saladin.

At last the church as it now stands was rebuilt and dedicated in 1900. At that same time a school, the École Biblique, was added to the church by Le Père Marie-Joseph Lagrange:

Le Père didn't take no mess.

Nowadays the École Biblique has one of the best libraries in Jerusalem for biblical studies and theology, which is what took me there today, but the church by itself is still worth a visit.
