Panoramica

The community is not a country house, and they do not organize preached retreats here.

However, they are always very happy to bring you their experience (for your discovery of the land), simply to welcome you, and even to listen to you (or to accompany those who ask this for the sake of deepened reflection).
All this finds its place in the community prayer during the Office, in the daily monastic life: meals in silence in the monastic refectory or in the guesthouse, according to the situation; and sometimes the one or other person wants to join in the work in the garden or elsewhere.

You will meet pilgrims here, tourists, and friends, Israelis and Palestinians.
Each person is free to feel at home – to the extent to which he or she knows that they are welcomed by the community which witnesses to an Other who preceded on the roads of the Holy Land.

Storia

Founded at least 6000 years BCE, the village of Abu Ghosh was built around a spring that flows abundantly throughout the entire year, and on an axis that was to become the path of pilgrims going from the coast to Jerusalem.

Starting in biblical times, the place had a name: Kyriat Yearim. Its history is marked by the presence of the Ark of the Covenant during the time of King David (1 Kings). In this place, Christian memory of the Holy Land placed the “road to Emmaus” that led the two discouraged disciples to their encounter with the risen Lord (Luke 24).

The Holy Land, which is itself a land of crossroads, then saw the Romans invade the country; in Abu Ghosh, they built cisterns for the spring. Then the Byzantine civilization blossomed all around.

The events, cultures and religious facts began to cross one another in this place of passage and of pilgrimage, where soon the caliphs from Baghdad built a caravanserai, the remains of which furnish the foundations of a structure that can still be seen around the monastery. This made it possible at the time of the Crusaders to construct a guesthouse and a convent next to a church that was built over the spring.

Commissioned by the Order of Hospitalers of St. John (which became the Order of Malta), this church and its convent were probably at the service of a project to establish a specific site for the pilgrims around the gospel episode of Emmaus and the Lord’s resurrection.
