The Road To Mar Moussa AlHabashi- last episode-
Al Nabek (Qalamoun Mounts)
(feb/2005) well this small church inside the monastery was one of the strangest things that i have ever seen!
Religious drawings wherever you look, most of the drawings are over 800 years old.
i picked this one that describes the judgment day:
on the right the bad fellows that crying blood, with the devil (the black on the second row)
on the left the good guys... the most interesting things are the shapes and the costumes of the people (that gives a good idea of that time), and that (and it's my own conclusion) it weren't drawn in Mar Moussa's life, because if he was there he wouldn't draw the devil in black because in Ethiopia they used to draw Jesus as a black one.

Ok great pics of Al Nabek Amr but if I don't see some Haressah Nabkiyeh soon I am going to get mad. :P
Really good place, I have visited it also in autumn 2004. I will post some pics (you mentioned me :)
