"Cette magnifique abbaye a été bâtie sur le lieu supposé du décès de la Vierge Marie. C'est sur cette colline que se trouve également le Cénotaphe, où aurait eu lieu le dernier repas du Christ, ainsi que le tombeau du célèbre roi David."

"Marking the place where Roman Catholics believe the Virgin Mary fell asleep for the last time, the Dormition Church was built for German Catholics between 1901 and 1910, and is owned by the German Benedictine Order. The Turkish sultan dedicated the land to Kaiser Wilhelm II upon his visit to Jerusalem in 1898. The prominent landmark is situated on Mount Zion, in the southern part of Jerusalem's Old City. Built in a Romanesque style, the church resembles a fortress, topped with a towering domed clock tower, a gray conical roof, and four turrets. The design, meant to replicate Charlemagne's Aachen Cathedral in western Germany, was based on plans by Heinrich Renard, the architect for the archdiocese of Cologne. The central attraction of the church is the Chapel of the Dormition, which is home to a life-sized statue of a sleeping Mary. The crypt contains a mosaic in the dome above the statue, of Christ receiving her soul, surrounded by the biblical women Eve, Sarah, Miriam, Esther, Yael, and Judith. The mosaics provide some of the most striking features of the church. The mosaic pavement in the main chapel symbolizes the Holy Trinity, depicting three intersecting circles, and is surrounded by further tributes to Christianity including the names of the prophets Daniel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekial, and those of the twelve Apostles. This mosaic is surrounded by twelve zodiac signs. The church is bordered by significant Christian sites, including the "Room of the Last Supper" and the tomb of David-although most now arque that he never lay there. During the 1948 and 1967 battles over Jerusalem, the church was damaged and parts of the building have never been restored. Every two years the church presents the Mount Zion Award to people who have contributed to Christian-Muslim-Jewish dialogue."
