Opis:

This lovely church, built at the turn of the twentieth century, is located across the Artas Valley from the village of the same name. In fact, "Artas" is thought to be derived from "Hortus Conclusus," alluding to a verse from the Song of Solomon. Ethnographers have found many parallels with that canticle in the traditions of the village. The association extends to the nearby Solomon Pools, traditionally guarded by the villagers of Artas during the Ottoman period, and equally present in their folklore. The existence of the convent in the midst of an entirely Muslim village attests to the centuries of peaceful coexistence between Christians and Moslems in the Holy Land. The Soler Park adjoining the Convent often served as the site of the Annual Artas Lettuce Festival before it outgrew the space. For more information see www.artasfolklorecenter.net
