A 5th century AD monastery, the largest in the Judean desert. The complex is built on the southern cliffs of the Kidron creek, and is protected inside a walled area with dozens of structures. It was established by Saint Sabas (Arabic: Mar Saba, Syriac: Lord Saba), and named after him. The monastery started as a place of seclusion of few monks in the caves, led by Sabas. Over the years it was built, expanded, and fortified. During the peak times it housed about 500 monks.
   The site is located 10KM east of Bethlehem, near the desert road to Jerusalem. It is 250M above sea level, hanging over a steep cliff above the Kidron creek. The Kidron starts from the valley between the temple mount and Mount of olives in Jerusalem, and flows eastwards to the Dead sea.

Consuegra Castle is a fortress of Islamic origin located in the town of Consuegra, the ancient Roman city
of Consabura. It passed into Christian hands around the year 1090, but
after the battle of Consuegra it was recovered by Islamic troops.
In the 12th century it was finally conquered by Christian troops. For
its better defense, King Alfonso VIII donated the castle in 1183 to
the Military Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, which made it its main
fortress in the region. During the Peninsular War (1808–1814) it was
occupied by French troops who partially destroyed it in their retreat.

Currently the castle is owned by the Consuegra City Council, being one
of the most visited monuments in Castilla-La Mancha.

The period in which the First Temple presumably, or actually, stood in Jerusalem, is known in academic literature as the First Temple period
The Hebrew Bible states that the temple was constructed under Solomon, king of the United Kingdom of Israel and Judah and that during the Kingdom of Judah, the temple was dedicated to Yahweh. During different periods of its operation, Asherah, Baal, the host of heaven and a solarays that "the temple was burnt four hundred and seventy years, six months, and ten days after it was built.

Full name: **Ner Tamid Lamp from the Great Synagogue in Oświęcim, Poland**

Known as Ner Tamid (Hebrew: "eternal light"), the lamp symbolises the presence of divine light and as such should be kept aflame in a synagogue at all times, regardless whether the temple is open. This tradition is a reminder of the everlasting menorah in the Temple in Jerusalem (also known as The First Temple).

The lamp on display was discovered, alongside other objects, during archeological excavations conducted in 2004 on the site once occupied by the [Great Synagogue in Oświęcim](https://muzea.malopolska.pl/en/articles/673), before it was razed to the ground by the Nazis in November 1939.

Ner Tamid Lamp

Creusée au XIIè siècle cette église, qui témoigne de la ferveur chrétienne au Moyen Age, apparaît comme un lieu d'intense émotion.
st-jean5Sa vocation première fut d'abriter des reliques conservées dans une succession de fosses et dans un reliquaire dont la forme s'inspire de celle du Saint sépulcre découvert à Jérusalem lors de la première croisade . Il a été réalisé par évidement de la paroi calcaire. Il peut donc être qualifié de monolithe.
