Nostra:Holy Land: Difference between revisions

This benedictine monastery is built upon the [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Nebo Mount of Nebo] within the Catholic Theocracy of Israel. This mountain is mentioned in the Bible as the place where Moses was granted a view of the Promised Land before his death. The local Benedictines connect this symbolically, into the present, insofar that they view this monastery as a place where God grants them a first view of the heaven, especially in the liturgical acts and the asceticism. The monastery is built on the basis of the in real life existing [[wikipedia:Austrian_Pilgrim_Hospice_to_the_Holy_Family|Austrian Pilgrim Hospice to the Holy Family (located in the Old City of Jerusalem, Israel)]]. The front of the monastery is landscaped with a garden area and is separated from the rest of the town by a medium-high wall. The monastery has a St. Boniface's Church (for the monks) and right above it a Marian Chapel (for the nuns). In addition to the many offices, there are seven rooms for monks, one of which is reserved for the abbot. It has a richly decorated gathering room and an impressive library for theological, historical and other valueable works. The monastery has a large underground basement for the storage and production of materials. The construction was finished in September of 2023.
