Mar Saba Monastery – دير مار سابا
Mar Saba Monastery (دير مار سابا) is one of the oldest continuously inhabited monastic communities in the world. Founded in the 5th century by Saint Sabas, this ancient structure is carved into cliffs of desert and has stood as a place of worship, solitude, and resilience for over 1,500 years.
The monastery’s domes and towers emerge seamlessly from the golden rock, facing the deep gorge of Wadi al-Joz (وادي الجوز). The surrounding desert stretches east toward the Dead Sea near the ancient city of Jericho.
Though women are still not permitted inside its walls, the site holds deep cultural and spiritual significance for Palestinians of many backgrounds. It is still inhabited by Greek Orthodox monks, the site bears witness to centuries of Palestinian Christian heritage—quietly resisting erasure.
The colors of the print—sun-bleached stone, copper roofs, deep shadows, and bright desert light—mirror the strength and stillness of the place.
🖼️ Details:
• High-resolution photographic print
• Features both English and Arabic text
• Geographic coordinates of Ubeidiya included
• Printed on coated paper with semi-glossy, smooth surface
• Available sizes: 12×16 in
• Carefully packaged for safe shipping
🎨 A color palette strip is featured at the bottom—pulled directly from the mural—making this piece perfect for lovers of thoughtful design, heritage, and Palestine’s vibrant visual culture.
