Mar Saba monastery overlooking the Kidron Valley, Jerusalem, Israel
Above the Kidron Valley, not far from the shores of the Dead Sea, Mar Saba embodies the diverse cultural and religious history of Jerusalem. Believed to have been founded in the year 483, the Greek Orthodox hermitage is home to approximately 20 monks today. The modern Orthodox liturgy is thought to have been developed here.
