Jerusalem has been the foundation of the Christian Church, and it is in this belief that Palestinian monasticism created its own niche in Christian Jerusalem's history. Christian Jerusalem is at once a fact of history and a work of the imagination. The actual city, the place where King David ruled and Jesus of Nazareth was crucified, is irrevocably part of Christian memory. For Christians Jerusalem is also the city of Psalm 87.

What is the importance of Jerusalem to christians? "For Christians, Jerusalem's place in the life of Jesus gives it great importance.
The Christian Church had its beginnings in the city of Jerusalem. In Jerusalem the first Christian martyr, Stephen, met his death, and in the fourth century a great church was built in Jerusalem to house his relics and honor his memory. In a sermon preached in Jerusalem in the fifth century to venerate Stephen, Hesychius, a presbyter in Jerusalem, declaimed: "Among us Stephen fixed his courtyards and his tents, among us he received the lot of his ministry and the part of his martyrdom." Only Christians whose home was Jerusalem could say that these things have been accomplished "among us." * 1
Jerusalem is unique. Holy to three great faiths: Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the Old City is also perhaps one of the most fought over square kilometres on earth.
At the time of the founding of the state of Israel in 1948 there were 29,000 Christians living in Jerusalem - now that figure is less than 10,000.
In a few decades time there could be no local Christians in the birthplace of their religion. Christians fear that no matter who wins they'll end up as a tiny second-class minority.

Jerusalem is of interest to many Christians because it is the place where some key events in Jesus' life occurred. It is also a place that will have significance in the future. It has always been of significance to God and to the Jews and as such is important to Christians. As many people like to visit and see for themselves places where people important to them have lived, so is Jerusalem to Christians. It is interesting to see and learn about a city of which you read so much. It isn't the main event, though for Christians and there are no requirements to make a pilgrimage there.
It is the place where Christianity began at Pentecost and it is at Antioch where the term 'Christian' was first applied.
