Place where the prophet Elijah had an encounter with God, after fleeing, making himself present in a soft breeze.

I've lived nearby for more than 15 years, but I wasn't allowed inside. Previously, tourist buses arrived and groups were allowed into the monastery

High walls. The monastery building is the creation of the French architect Marcel Favier. The facade of the church with its magnificent portal is so majestic that it is difficult to fit into the frame. On the facade of the building there are stained glass windows, medallions with religious symbols and a bas-relief depicting Our Lady and the coat of arms of the Carmelites. Unfortunately, it’s not very visible, but the architect’s “calling card” was left here. The inscription reads:  MARCEL FAVIER ARCHITECTE 1936. The service in the church is conducted by clergy from the Stella Maris Carmelite monastery. The nuns in the hall cannot be present. They pray in a side room, adjacent to the church and listen to the service through this barred window. This window is located to the right of the altar, if you stand facing it.

A holy, beautiful place. Beautiful view too... Everyone must visit this place There is a souvenir shop. There are beautiful works of monks and nuns

(Translated by Google) I liked it very much, the well-groomed territory of the monastery, the silence, the flowers! (Original) Очень понравилось, ухоженная территория монастыря,тишина,цветы!

If the gate is open, you should climb the road to the right of the monastery, up to the garden on the ridge line. View from both sides to the Mediterranean Sea.

Not to be confused with the other monastery (Santa Marris) one kilometer away. This monastery is not open to the public. However, the very friendly sisters will open the doors of their church to you if you wish.

Beautiful

(Translated by Google) This monastery is very pretty, but I've only seen it from the outside, I'm not sure it's open for visits (Original) המנזר הזה יפה מאוד, אבל ראיתי אותו רק מבחוץ, אני לא בטוח שהוא פתוח לביקורים

A monastery full of only nuns, whose messages are universal, advocating peace, brotherhood. This is another po of a Catholic current.

(Translated by Google) very impressive (Original) מרשים ביותר
