This very large church 52 x 56 m was built during the Byzantine period. In the Crusader period the church was restored on a smaller scale. The church wasnamed after Anne, the mother of Mary, mother of Jesus. The Arab inhabitants of Bet Jibrin preserved the nameas “Sandahanna.” In Arabic, Tel Maresha wasnamed Tell Sandahanna, after the church.
