The Dormition Abbey is believed to have been where Mary, Jesus' mother, entered her internal sleep. "Dormito" means "sleep" in Latin, which is the reason the church is named "The Abbey of the Dormition" in honor of Mary. The church is located at mount Zion in Jerusalem, close to the southern wall of the old city, near Zion's Gate and David's Tomb.
