Download or read book Churches and Monasteries in Jerusalem written by David Rapp and published by Hanan Isachar Photography. This book was released on 2016-01-14 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biblical city of Jerusalem played a significant role in the origination of Christianity. According to the scriptures, Jesus visited the Jewish temple there as a youth. Many years later, it was in Jerusalem where He ate the Last Supper with His disciples before being arrested and tried by Roman Procurator Pontius Pilate, who sentenced Him to crucifixion. Jesus died and was buried just outside the city walls, rose there from the dead and, forty days later, ascended to Heaven from nearby Mount of Olives. Jerusalem is also where some of the disciples received inspiration from the Holy Spirit in a gathering that is considered to be the founding of the Christian Church, and where it is said that Jesus Christ will return in the Second Coming. “Churches and Monasteries in Jerusalem” is devoted to twenty ancient houses of worship that were built over the ages to commemorate the decisive milestones of Jesus’s time in Jerusalem and that underscore Christianity’s ongoing relationship with the sacred city. This volume is based in part on chapters from the authors’ book, "Churches and Monasteries in the Holy Land." The original text has been expanded to include new, previously unpublished sections, and more stunning photographs have been added to illuminate the content.

Download or read book The Sabaite Heritage in the Orthodox Church from the Fifth Century to the Present written by Joseph Patrich and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2001 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Sabas (439-532 CE), was one of the principal leaders of Palestinian monasticism, that had flourished in the sixth century in the desert of Jerusalem. As an abbot he was the first in Palestine to formulate a monastic rule in writing, and his activity as an ecclesiastical leader bore upon the life of the entire Christian community in the Holy land. He and his monks were active in the theological disputes that affected the fate of the Christian Church of Palestine, and shaped it as a stronghold of Orthodoxy. But his activity has transcended his place and time. His largest monastery - the Great Laura (Mar saba), functioned from the sixth to the ninth century as the intellectual centre of the See of Jerusalem. The most distinguished among its authors were Cyril of Scythopolis, Leontius of Byzantium, John Moschus and Sophronius, Antiochus Monachos, John of Damascus, Cosmas the Hymnographer, Leontius of Damascus and Stephen Mansur. Their treatises on dogma, and prayer, shaped Orthodox theology, liturgy and hymnography in Palestine and beyond. This literary activity in Greek was complemented by scribal activity of copying and translating of Greek manuscripts into Arabic and Georgian. There was also original composition in Arabic by Theodore Abu Qurrah and others. Monastic life in Mar Saba, that continued under Muslim rule with only short intermissions, preserved the Sabaite tradition, and contributed to its reputation, parallel to that of Jerusalem. Sabaite monks were renown as paragons of monasticism and dogma, who had inspired monastic and ecclesiastical reformers in later centuries throughout the Orthodox world. Its fame spread far and wide, from Rome and North Africa in the west, to Serbia, Russia and Georgia in the east, affecting Christian dogma and liturgy therein. The thirty-one studies included in this volume, each written by an expert in his field, present the various facets of the Sabaite heritage in the Orthodox Church, from the sixth century to the present.
