Stella Maris A Moment of Reflection and Elijah's Cave

Pilgrimage to the Monastery of Stella Maris and Elijah’s Cave
Location: Israel
Description:
Perched at the western edge of Mount Carmel, high above the Mediterranean and the coastal city of Haifa, is Stella Maris Monastery and church.
The name of the 19th-century monastery — Latin for “Star of the Sea” — refers not to the magnificent view, but rather to an early title accorded Mary, the mother of Jesus.
The monastery is the world headquarters of a Catholic religious order of friars and nuns, the Carmelites.
The order had its origins at the end of the 12th century when St Berthold, a Frenchman who had gone to the Holy Land as a Crusader, had a vision of Christ denouncing the evil done by soldiers.
Berthold gathered a small community of hermits around him, living in caves on Mount Carmel, in imitation of the Old Testament prophet Elijah. Later the community became known as the Hermit Brothers of St Mary of Mount Carmel.

Information and Prayer:
We visited this holy place and took pictures and made them into a video with scripture-based music done by gifted instrumentalists. We designed them for special moments of reflection for anyone who had travel to this holy place in the past that they may reminisce their visit or for those who are planning to visit in the future. “To walk where Jesus, Joseph and Mary had walked”. We hope that those who are unable to travel due to medical and personal reasons, as pray that as you spend time watching this video, may you feel the same presence of Jesus that we all felt.
