Under Foundation Stone In Jerusalem

Under Foundation Stone In Jerusalem

This image is a wide-angle view taken under the Foundation Stone in Jerusalem, beneath the Dome of the Rock Mosque. The photograph captures the sacred and historical ambiance of this significant location. In the left corner of the image, there is a small prayer niche made of gray marble, featuring two columns that extend to the ceiling of the cave. This niche is an integral part of the cave's religious and architectural heritage. The floor is covered with a red decorated carpet, adding warmth and vibrancy to the scene. In the right corner, a Muslim woman is seen sitting and praying next to a small mihrab, known as Mihrab Suleiman. This mihrab, according to Goldhill, is one of the oldest in the world, with origins possibly dating back to at least the 9th century. Some historians suggest that it might even date back to the 7th century and to the era of 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, the builder of the Dome of the Rock, which would make it the oldest mihrab in existence. The image, illuminated by soft, warm yellow lighting, captures the serene and sacred atmosphere of the cave. The natural appearance of the ceiling contrasts with the man-made elements, highlighting the historical layers and religious significance of the site. This photograph offers a detailed and evocative glimpse into a revered space within the Dome of the Rock complex.

At the heart of the dome is the image of Christ Pantocrator, representing Jesus Christ as the ruler of the world. The mosaic is rich in detail and spiritual symbolism, portraying Christ with a halo containing the Christogram—Greek letters "IC" and "XC," which stand for "Jesus Christ." Inside the halo, the Cross is depicted with three arms, each bearing a Greek letter—"O ώ N" (omega, omicron, nu)—representing the phrase "He who is." This refers to God's self-revelation to Moses in the Book of Exodus and is reiterated in the Book of Revelation, emphasizing Christ’s divinity and eternal nature.

Surrounding Christ are key church leaders and saints from the Eastern Orthodox tradition, highlighting the connection between Christ and the church’s theological history.
