Russia has started building a museum park complex in a Jericho land lot which was earlier returned to the Russian government by the Palestinian National Authority, according to the Interfax-Religion website.
"Russian museum in Jericho proves that Russia returns to the Holy Land after a long period of absence, and contributes into cultural life of people living there, and numerous tourists from all over the world who come to visit these places," head of the Presidential Property Management Department of the Russian Federation Vladimir Kozhin said on April 8, 2010 at the festival ceremony of laying the foundation stone to future building of the complex.
Kozhin believes this project will give more dynamics to Jericho's further development as the future museum will display a fig tree, which is a living witness to the life of Christ.
Once construction is completed, the museum park complex will be visited by millions of pilgrims and tourists from all over the world.
