Mission of Saint Sergius of Jerusalem

The Mission of Saint Sergius, established in 1890 by the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society, is a significant building in Jerusalem that serves as a guest house and a center for religious tourism. Under the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Ecclesiastical Mission, it has been revitalized since 2017 to enhance its role in supporting pilgrimages from Russia to Israel. The site has historical importance, having hosted charitable activities and humanitarian aid efforts in the region. Notably, it served as the only polling station in Jerusalem for Russian citizens during the 2018 presidential election, highlighting its ongoing relevance in cultural and political contexts.
