  The Cathedral rests on the foundations of a Roman pagan temple and is probably the oldest (4th century) and once the most splendid Christian church in Jerash. Of particular interest is the shrine to Mary, Gabriel and Michael at the top of the steps leading from the Cardo below. The main entrances were from the West where in the southernmost door a Greek inscribed stone was reused as part of the jamb. There are also pagan altars resting on the nave floor. After spending five to ten minutes here, please proceed to West to the Fountain Court.
