Located in Burqi’in village, this church was built upon the site where Jesus healed 10 lepers (Luke 17: 11–19). It’s said to be one of the world’s oldest surviving churches (dating to the 4th or 5th century CE) and contains the cave that sheltered the lepers. Service taxis (3NIS) go here from a station about 300m west of the Masjid Jenin. The church is often locked but the caretaker family should be able to unlock the gates for you.
In front of the church a shaft has been uncovered that leads to another cave where early Christians took shelter from the Romans. Ask if you can climb down the ladder to have a nose inside.
