Content:
This is the fifth volume in a series of books devoted to Christians and Christianity. The book is dedicated to the monastery of Martyrius, excavated in the course of the construction of the city of Ma'ale Adummim. The monastery was established in the second half of the fifth century CE by Martyrius, a disciple of Euthymius, who later became the Patriarch of Jerusalem. Excavations revealed a church, four prayer chapels, a large kitchen, and a refectory--one of the largest and most complete dining rooms found in the Holy Land from the Byzantine period. Also were revealed a pilgrim hospice with a chapel, stables, and colorful mosaics with Greek inscriptions.
