Christ Church, Nazareth
Christ Church (Hebrew: כנסיית המשיח, romanized: Knesset HaMashiakh, lit. 'Assembly of the Mashiakh'; Arabic: كنيسة المسيح, romanized: Kanisah al-Masîḥ) is an Anglican church located in the town of Nazareth, Israel. Due to financial troubles the church couldn't be completed by 1871 and lacked its intended spire, until one was finally added 143 years later, in 2014. Nearby lies the famous Basilica of the Annunciation.
