The initial activity will be documentation, to determine the parts of the mosaics that are most heavily damaged and to select the appropriate materials for the restoration, then will come the cleaning and the actual restoration itself<\/em>\u201d. It is not only the mosaics within the church that are being restored, but also those on the fa\u00e7ade, which have also been heavily damaged. Raed continues: \u201c<em>This is the first time that a project of this type has been carried out on mosaics at Gethsemane which, after all, are relatively recent, dating from the 1920s. Restoration will probably also be carried out on mosaics from the Byzantine era, which are located on the floor of the church.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rasmi, also a mosaicist, explains that \u201c<em>in addition to restoring the mosaics, the project provides for renovation of the roof, to stop the leaks of water that are damaging the mosaic vaults.
