The Convent of Our Lady of Saidnaya: An Architectural Epic of the Mountain and the Icon
دير سيدة صيدنايا: ملحمة الجبل والأيقونة
Ten chapters read the Convent of Our Lady of Saidnaya north of Damascus, which tradition dates to the sixth-century emperor Justinian: the mountain town, the ascent as part of the visit, walls that keep silence, the icon, candlelight, the daily life of the nuns and centuries of pilgrims. The mountain, the book argues, is half the architecture.
