One of the most interesting churches I have seen built in Israel in the 8 trips over the 20 years I have been going there is St. Peter in Gallicantu. This is built over the ancient place where Jesus would have been held Holy Thursday night - after his arrest.
It is the site where St. Peter denied the Lord 3 times before the Cock Crowed.
In the church there are 2 icons - on on either side of the Altar on the lower level of the church:
On the left - Peter denies Jesus 3 times - on the right - Peter declares his love 3 times.
Peace
