Chapel of Ananias in the Christian quarter of old Damascus. It's a cellar and originally part of his house. Ananias is the Christian who (according to tradition) laid hands on Paul's eyes such that the scales fell from them and he could see again.
Ash-sham is the area now made up of Syria, Lebanon, Palestine/Israel, and Jordan ... maybe Iraq too, but I'm not going there. This blog is about yours truly's visit there in October/November 2009
