Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in America, Washington, D.C.

The Monastery in Washington was built to serve those who could not physically travel to the Holy Land and includes replicas of many of the sites that the Franciscans oversee in the Holy Land, including Nativity Grotto in Bethlehem and the tomb of Christ in Jerusalem. There are also full-size replicas of the Catacombs and martyr’s crypts.
