ANJARA
The ancient town of Anjara is located in the hills of
Gilead,east of the Jordan Valley. The Bible makes mention of this town as a
place where Jesus, his mother Mary and his disciples passed through and rested
in a nearby cave.
The cave, which has long been a Holy place for pilgrims ,
has now been commemorated with the Church of Our Lady of the Mountain. The cave
was also designated by the Catholic Churches of the Middle East as one of the 5
pilgrimage sites for the year 200.The others were Mount Nebo, Machaerus ,Tall
Mar Elias near Ajlun and Bethany Beyond the Jordan.
