Global InformationBenedictine monastery in Abu Ghosh information
The Benedictine monastery in Abu Ghosh, officially St Mary of the Resurrection Abbey,[1] (French: Abbaye Sainte-Marie de la Résurrection d'Abu Gosh) is a monastery run by the Olivetan Benedictine order in Abu Ghosh, Israel.
Its church is built on the foundations of the Crusader-period Church of the Resurrection, or Church of our Lord's Resurrection.[2] It was established in the 12th century on top of Roman ruins in the center of Abu Ghosh, known by the Crusaders as Fontenoid. Until the 19th century, the Arabs called the village Qaryet al-'Inab. The site was associated by the Crusaders with Emmaus from the Gospel of Luke.
France claims ownership of the land as a Domaine national français (transl. French national domain in the Holy Land), under the Ottoman capitulations and says this was formalised by the Fischer-Chauvel Agreement of 1948, which has not been ratified by Israel.
