This image presents a unique, wide-angle view inside the Cave of the Well of Souls, located beneath the Foundation Stone under the Dome of the Rock Mosque in Jerusalem. This view highlights the prayer niche, known as Mihrab Ibrahim, which is dedicated to Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim) and situated in the northern corner of the chamber. The photograph showcases the cave's distinct features: the natural appearance of the ceiling and the long-paved marble floor, which is now carpeted over. The soft, warm yellow lighting creates a tranquil and reverent atmosphere within the cave. This site, significant in various religious traditions, is referred to by Christians as the Holy of Holies, reminiscent of the former inner sanctuary within the Temple in Jerusalem. It is also venerated as a potential site of the annunciation of John the Baptist, as described in the Gospel of Luke, which mentions this event occurring in the Temple.
