Lavra Netofa
== History ==
Lavra (or Laura) Netofa is a Melkite-Christian hermitage on a mountain top above the village of Deir Hanna in Galilee. An old-looking stone structure, built from local stones, most of it constructed underground, serves as a chapel. The hermitage was founded in 1967 by two monks, the Dutch Father Jacob Willebrands and the American Father Toma Farelly, who answered the call to live among the Palestinian Christian community, descendants of the ancient Israelites and to serve as a bridge between them and recent Jewish immigrants. The hermitage on Mt. Netofa was meant as a retreat for Christian monks and worshippers. While preparing the land, they found a deep ancient water hole from the Byzantine era and decided to clear it and make it an underground chapel. They dug up other water holes for the purpose of collecting rain water for their use.
Later, additional structures were added – small huts as living quarters for the monks, a dining room, a library and a winery. When climbing down the spiral stairs deep into the cave chapel, the air becomes chilly and cool. During the day, beautiful rays of light penetrate the church as the sun makes its way through the entrance way upstairs and fill the air with a charming spiritual atmosphere. Down inside there is a small stone podium with three stone stairs leading up to it from which prayers are read daily and an iconostasis.
