Epiphany Church, Ramallah

The Epiphany Church (Arabic: Tajala el-Rab‎‎) is a Greek Orthodox church, which offers religious services in Arabic in the city of Ramallah in the West Bank, in the Palestinian territories. It was dedicated as its name indicates to the Epiphany.

It was in 1807 that Father Elias Mitri al-Qassis built the first Orthodox church in a town that was becoming increasingly important. It is a relatively small temple which was actually built by local workers with stones of an ancient church since 1850. Its bell tower dominates the old city.
