Euthymius Monastery was established by Saint Euthymius, a leading figure in the Byzantine monastic movement in the Holy Land. Euthymius settled in a cave in 420 CE in the northern Judean Desert, halfway between Jerusalem and Jericho. Monks that joined him developed the site into a laura and then a coinobium monastery. The monastery also accommodated pilgrims headed from Jerusalem to Jesus’ Baptism site or Mount Nebo. The site was also used in the Crusader's period but was later abandoned. The monastery was excavated by several archaeological expeditions and later developed for tourism. Today, the Euthymius monastery is in the heart of a commercial and industrial zone of East Jerusalem. Its remains stand out in sharp contrast to the modern development around it. Visiting the site requires pre-arrangement through the National Parks Authority. Most impressive is the monastery’s large-scale water reservoir. Beneath the monastery’s church, several burials were uncovered, including of Euthymius, whose tomb was venerated in antiquity.

My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land. Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity. In order to fulfill this "calling" in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters) Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, "glide" over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water, and "see" the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many-faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be implanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.
