    Try to go when there are no crowds. Call ahead and ask the monastery to open the church ahead of time. If you are polite they will treat you very well. Remember, there's no entrance fee because it's a church. Make sure you buy some candles and a small icon to support the site. God bless everyone. Blessing of St George.

    St. George, the most important soldier-saint in the Christian tradition, was born in Lod (Lydda). His remains are kept in the crypt of the Greek-Orthodox church. The church was first constructed in the Byzantine period, rebuilt by the Crusaders, and rebuilt during the late Ottoman period. St. George church is located in the old section of the modern city of Lod. The church, and the adjacent el-Omari mosque,  are located near Khan Hilu - the ruins of a Ottoman period inn. To the east and north of St. George was the location of the ancient city of Lod/Lydda, but few remains were left. The Biblical city was located further to the northeast, on the south bank of Nahal Ayalon stream. The construction of the present building was completed in 1893. It embedded earlier elements of the Crusaders period fortified church, which protected the road from Jaffa to Jerusalem. The Crusader church was built on the ruins of an earlier Byzantine church.

    With so many family members named George, visiting here was very meaningful. Here you can visit his tomb, venerate his relics and touch the chains used to bind him.

    Saint Georgios was a high ranked oficer with all priviledges that come along. Today , on his grave , hundreds of people bow their heads honoring his sacrifice. Lod (city where the temple is) is close to Tel Aviv so don't miss the chance to visit this Holy Place and feel the spirit of the times when honor was above all

👍👍 Ever since I was a child, visiting Lod's Balls Square was my biggest dream. I've been constantly waiting for my chance to finally catch a glimpse of it in real life, and finally, after almost 20 years, I decided to make my dream come true. It was the most amazing experience I've ever went through, a...
