Jesus spent the night here, dreaming that God said that the temple would be destroyed by the Romans after seventy years, and Jesus was sad and crying, and so came the name of the church.

The church was built from 1953 to 1955. The designer was Anthony Baluch. Baluch designed some shrines and churches in the first half of the 20th century, and there are many other works of his in Jerusalem, such as the Church of the Nations, the Coronation Hall, etc.

The Church of the Lord Cry (Dominus Flevit, also translated as the Church of the Lord Crying of the Lord) is a Catholic church located on the Mount of Olives, facing the Old City of Jerusalem. "Dominus Flevit," translated from Latin for "God is crying", the church is shaped like a teardrop to symbolize the tears of Jesus.

The Church of Sobs is one of the newest churches in Jerusalem, located on an ancient site. During the construction period, archaeologists excavated cultural relics dating back to Canaan, and found the second temple and the Byzantine tombs. Until the Crusades, Jesus wept in an unmarked position. From this period, people began to commemorate the site. Later, a chapel was built in this location. After the fall of Jerusalem in 1187, the church was destroyed. In the early 16th century, a mosque or Islamic school was established in the original church, although its exact use remains controversial.

On the other side, you can see the Temple Hill. The road at the entrance is the mud road where Jesus first entered Jerusalem on a donkey. In the middle of the Olive Mountains, the Church of Nations is down. You can take a bus to Olive Hill to walk down, which is more labor-saving. You can also walk up the trail beside the West wall, but the doors to the trail have time to open and close. You can also get out of the Lion Gate of the Old City and extend down the ramp. The cross-road is the Universal Church and then up the path.
