Rantis ((アラビア語:رنتيس)) is a Palestinian town in the West Bank, located in the northwestern Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate, 33 kilometers northwest of Ramallah. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, it had a population of 2,900 in mid-year 2006.〔( Projected Mid -Year Population for Ramallah & Al Bireh Governorate by Locality 2004- 2006 ) Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics〕 Its population consists primarily of six clans: Danoun, Wahdan, Khallaf, Ballot, Dar Abo Salim, al-Ryahee and Hawashe.〔 (The Segregation Wall threatens the practice of territorial expansion in Rantis village ) Applied Research Institute - Jerusalem. 2004-06-26.〕 Rantis has a land area 11,046 dunams of which 589 dunams are built-up area.〔 The town's main economic sector is agriculture and 20% of its land area is planted with crops. There are two primary schools and two kindergartens. Other facilities includes three clinics, a bus station, a club and two mosques.〔 ==History== Each of the Gospels mention this town as ''Arimathea'' once, and always in association with Joseph of Arimathea — who placed Christ's body in his own tomb.〔Matt 27:57; Mark 15:43; Luke 23:50; John 19:38〕 Both Eusebius and Jerome identify Arimathea with the birthplace of Samuel. In the 4th century, Jerome reported that the Holy Paula visited this location. Strong traditions from the Middle Ages buttress this claim, celebrating this town as the prophet's original home. A monastery of Joseph of Arimathea was erected there. Conflicting traditions urge Arimathea's location at modern Rantis, 15 miles east of Jaffa. Other suggestions for Arimathea include ar-Ram and al-Bireh-Ramallah, 5 and 8 miles north of Jerusalem, respectively.〔(Armathaim, also Arimathea - (Ranthis) ) Studium Biblicum Francum - Jerusalem.〕 The SWP assumed the village was "ancient", as rock-cut tombs were found south-west of the village.〔Conder and Kitchener, 1882, SWP II, p. (367 )〕 During the Crusader era, it was known as ''Arimathia'', ''Arimatie'', ''Abarimatie'', and ''Rantis''.〔Pringle, 1998, pp. ( 199 )-200〕 By 1150, the Premonstratensians were represented in Rentis with a house.〔 In 1159-60 a church in the village was mentioned in Crusader sources.〔〔de Roziére, 1849, pp. (131 )-133; pp. (133 )-135. Cited in Röhricht, 1893, RHH, pp. (94 )-95, Nos 358, 360〕 In 1187 Rantis was conquered by Saladin, and the Crusaders were never able to return.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rantis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
