The
Cupola in the Church of Beatitudes. On each window of the cupola is written part of the
text of the eight Beatitudes, as spoken by Jesus when he delivered his Sermon on the
Mount.
1. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for
theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
2. Blessed are those who mourn, for they
shall be comforted.
3. Blessed are the meek, for they shall
inherit the earth.
4. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst
for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
5. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall
obtain mercy.
6. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they
shall see God.
7. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they
shall be called the sons of God.
8. Blessed are those who are persecuted for
righteousness sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
