The article is devoted to the series of Oriental sketches created by V.D. Polenov during his journey to the East in 1882. The main object of the study are the landscapes belonging to the second part of the artist’s trip, after he leaves Jerusalem and moves from the Dead Sea, along the Jordan, to Lake Genisaret and further north to the limits of the Biblical lands. During this time the “set” of stable landscape motifs to which the artist refers in his sketches changes. The artist’s own movement from the place of Christ’s execution and passionate journey to the lands of his ministry and birth corresponds to his move from the solid and cave motifs to the waters in his sketches. And the water motif itself undergoes various changes correlating to Christian symbolism of the places Polenov visits. The internal theme of the series of field sketches from the Holy Land is associated with the semantics of the Gospel cycle.

This scientific paper aims to identify an important monastery that was established in the fifth century AD southeast of Jerusalem i.e. two centuries before the arrival of Islam. That monastery is: Mar Saba Monastery: After Saint Saba (439-532 A.D.) who lived an ascetic life in a cave 15 kilometers southeast of Jerusalem over a valley that extends from the foothill of Mount Al-Tur in Jerusalem and runs into the Dead Sea. The Valley is mentioned in the Bible as “Kidron” while others call it “Yehushevat” or the Valley of Tears (People call it now Wadi Al-Nar or the Inferno Valley ). Saint Saba was followed by other monks who lived in the surrounding caves. In 483 A.D. Saint Saba and his followers began to build a monastery in the place which became of its proximity to Jerusalem. It hosted a large number of monks from different denominations, and contained a distinguished library throughout history. That monastery became a place of pilgrimages for travelers, researchers, and Jerusalem visitors over a period of sixteen centuries. It was also known for Christian pilgrims, since it hosted thousands of monks. This study also aims to provide sufficient data about Saint Saba and his monastery. It also discusses how the monastery was developed throughout history, its pertinence to Jerusalem, and the role it played in attracting tourists and travelers to the Holy Land as well as in the cultural development in Jerusalem and the vicinity. Keywords: Jerusalem (Bayt al-maqdes), Monastery, Mar Saba
