    San Saba founded several monasteries and this one is particularly suggestive and "terrifying", very impervious, suitable for hermitages. The Holy Land has countless scenic beauties and calls a lot to holiness...

    We too made the trek in 1975 but arrived to late to enter. I remember the wadi kidron wss browner then since Jerusalem's sewerage was completely untreated. I think the attitude was upon reaching the dead sea it would be cleansed!

    1947 - THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS were discovered in caves near Mar Saba Monastery. "Dead Sea Scrolls, ancient, mostly Hebrew, manuscripts (of leather, papyrus, and copper) first found in 1947 on the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea. Discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls is among the more important finds in the history of modern archaeology."

    Saints Efthymios , Theodosios , Gerasimos and Savvas are the four great founders of communal - cenobite monasticism (in greek , coinobiakos monachismos) in Byzantium at 5th and 6th centuries AD. All of them founded their monasteries in the Holy Land . Today three of them exist and of course they are Greek Orthodox .

    Saint Sava Monastery is the foundation of the Isaurian emperor Zeno, who was part of the Byzantine dynasty of Leo the Great. Leo the Great was a Dacian and descended from the house of David, and his daughter, Ariadne, married Zeno, who became the Byzantine emperor after the death of Leo the Great and his son Leo II. But the monastery of Saint Sava has a special significance, because from here, from where you filmed, it was thrown into the abyss, the Scapegoat. I will reproduce below an excerpt from the book Ancient Messianic Festivals, written by Ken Johnson, which shows how the Scapegoat ritual of Yom Kippur was performed in the time of Jesus Christ. But it is known that Zeno's feat led to the end of antiquity and the beginning of the dark Middle Ages absolutely dominated by the Scapegoat ritual. Romulus Augustulus, the brother-in-law of Leo the Great, tried for a time a coup against Zeno to end the development of this ritual in the Byzantine Empire, but his coup failed. Only later did the Byzantine dynasty of Justinian (and this emperor was a Dacian and descended from the house of David) fix the problem in the sense that even in the domination of the Scapegoat ritual, Catherine of Justinian the Great became victorious (this was a character Jochebed, mother of Moses), and thus the messianic ancestors after the flesh of Jesus Christ became victorious too.

    Hi Zahi. Fantastic video. I was tired walking with you! One question. You had mentioned that women were not allowed to go inside..
    But I saw in this video..there were several women. Did they wait outside..while then walked in? Also...I was thinking..by time you were finished did you have to walk back the same way. I think you arrived you said at 1800 that day...it would be dark when you were finished. How did you manage walking back at that time. Thank you. Regina

      @@zahishaked From its very begining Saint Savvas monastery was a greek speaking and Greek Orthodox monastery , exactly like the Saint Catherine monastery in Sinai and all the monasteries of the Holy Land . Saint Savvas (440 - 534 ΑD) of course was a Greek of Cappadocia Asia Minor ( not Turkey ) as many holy Fathers of the Church saint Bassilios ( the equivalent of santa Claus for the Orthodox people...) , Gregorios the Theologian , Gregorios Nazianzinos etc . At 8th century saint Jean Damaskinos lived and died in saint Savvas monastery and he is a great hymnographer of the Greek Orthodox Church .

    Prayer in caves: happens a lot in the Bible, but they don't call these places caves, so we don't realize that these actions are happening in caves: the Essenes lived and prayed in caves; John the Baptist lived in a cave; Mary's home in Nazareth was half in a cave (the storage area); Jesus was born in a cave in Bethlehem (which also housed animals); a lot of Jerusalem is part of a cave (under the old city); no wonder ritual baths were culturally important...dts/usa

  • @danasandlin2435
    @danasandlin2435 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Thank you for this...I believe this is called in the Bible, The Jericho Road...and it was known for being deserted and a place where thieves thrived...It is the setting for the parable of The Good Samaritan, which is central to Jesus ministry. In response to a question from a lawyer who asked Jesus, what is the most important part of your message to the world? Jesus answered, Love others as Yourself, and Love God above all others, and treat others as you would wish to be treated. Then he relayed his famous parable in order to illustrate how we should love others. A Man was robbed and left for dead along the Jericho road. A priest and a Levite passed the man and left him for dead, doing nothing. The Samaritan (a man of very low status) stopped and bound the man's wounds and paid for him to stay at a local inn (or monastery). Jesus then asked, 'I ask you, who was a neighbor to this man?" indicating that the priest and Levite did not do their duty to the man, but the lowly Samaritan did. This did not please the priests, but it was a truth about treating others==all others==as you wish to be treated, circumstances notwithstanding...dts/usa

    “Mary the mother of God” that would elevate her above God the Son Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
    The word of God says, “For their is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” 1Timothy 2:5
    It was the Lord Jesus Christ who lived a perfect sinless life and died on Calvary’s cross for our sins. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit thus bypassing Mary’s fallen nature and bloodline. Colossians 1:14
    Mary had to give a sacrifice of two turtle doves for her uncleanness after the birth of Jesus and she had to trust her own Son as Saviour to be born again. Act20:21; Romans 10

    Zechariah 14:4,7-9 KJV
    [4] And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. [7] But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light. [8] And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. [9] And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
