Forwarded from Architecture of the Byzantine world
Today the Church remembers Saint Euthymius the Great, the famous father of Palestinian monasticism, who saved many people from the then spreading Monophysite heresy, including the Empress Eudocia, later recognized as a saint herself. She, however, was by no means the only person to whom Euthymius showed the way to sainthood during his lifetime.
In honor of this, I suggest taking a look at the ruins of the Lavra founded by him - although the complex was active and even restored under the Crusaders in the 12th century, the centuries did not spare it. The huge monastery cistern, however, is still impressive today.
