The saint is supposed, in the 5th Century to have lived in a cave with a lion in this neighbourhood for many years. Anchorites inhabited similar caves prior to the building of the Monastery. No women are allowed in the Monastery. The Arab population all around is Christian. It is now a Greek Orthodox Monastery. The silver keys to the Monastery. (Description attached to the reverse).
