Mar Saba Monastery, West Bank |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| The extensive and isolated Mar Saba Monastery is located in the West Bank, near Bethlehem and Jerusalem. Carved into the walls of a canyon, the monastery stands opposite the cave where Saint Sabas began his ascetic life in the 5th century. The monastery, still inhabited by Christian monks, is one of the many religious buildings in the West Bank, which together reflect the diversity of faiths practiced in the region. | ||||||
