While in Jerusalem, we visited the Pater Noster Church, which is named after the "Our Father" prayer (Pater Noster is "Our Father" in Latin). This church was built on the traditional site in Jerusalem where Jesus taught His disciples the Lord's Prayer. Emperor Constantine built a church over a cave here in the 4th century, and since then, it has been partially reconstructed. Plaques in the cloister bear the Lord's Prayer in 62 different languages.
