Project Israel To Do:

 Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

August 2006 - Edited page to correct name of this monastic community's associated saint to Saint Sabas and linked to Misplaced Pages article for that saint. Also added reference to the fact that this monastery is called by another name, Santa Saba, especially in an historical context. A web search for convent santa saba or monastery santa saba turns up many old lithographs and photographs of this location, and I first came to the article while reading John Lloyd Stephens Incidents of Travel in Egypt, Arabia Petraea, and the Holy Land wherein the author refers to this community as Santa Saba.

Kidron Valley

I'm confused about the reference to the Kidron Valley in this article. If you look at the linked Misplaced Pages article, it says the valley is just outside Jerusalem - but Mar Saba is plainly nowhere near Jerusalem. What's the story here? Are there two valleys of the same name? -- ChrisO (talk) 00:22, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Kidron Valley goes all the way from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea. Its article cites that "An ephemeral stream flows through it with occasional flash floods in the rainy winter months".
Hope that helps. Jaakobou 00:41, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Ah, I see. "It then continues east through the Judean Desert, towards the Dead Sea." That makes sense - thanks for the clarification! -- ChrisO (talk) 01:05, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
