Notre Dame de Saydnaya - Syrie

#Seidnaya #Notre-Dame #Syrie
Seidnaya (en arabe صيدنايا‎ c'est-à-dire Notre-Dame) est un village du Mont-Liban au Nord de Damas en Syrie


Seidnaya est située sur une haute colline riche en vignobles. Elle abrite des couvents, des monastères, des églises et des lieux saints. C'est un très important centre de la chrétienté.
Ce village date du VIe siècle avant J.-C.

Le Monastère Notre-Dame de Saidnaya est un important monastère orthodoxe antiochien, qui fut fondé par l'Empereur byzantin Justinien Ier en 547.
Quand Constantinople est devenu le centre du commerce mondial, par terre ou par mer, la Syrie a fait prospéré ses propres commerce et industrie. La Perse menaçant avant même les Arabes les vieilles routes commerciales fiables en Asie Centrale, l'empereur Justinien eut la bonne idée de contourner l'obstacle par le sud, en Mer Rouge, érigeant le long de cette nouvelle voie, comme il était traditionnel de le faire, une chaîne de forteresses, des citadelles et de haltes fortifiées. Le monastère de forteresse de Seidnaya, bâti au VIe siècle, a pu faire partie de cette chaîne. Selon la légende, alors que Justinien faisait une halte pour chasser par les champs de blé, d'oliviers et de vignobles dans le Kalamun, juste à l'est des montagnes de l'Anti-Liban, sa poursuite d'un cerf l'aurait mené sur un promontoire désolé et rocheux. Là, l'empereur était sur le point de bander son arc quand, tout à coup, l'animal se vit transformé en la Vierge Marie, qui commanda alors que Justinien lui construise un couvent sur le bord de la falaise. Le site, aurait-elle ajouté, avait été choisi par Noé lui-même, qui avait planté là une vigne, juste après le fameux déluge (Voir : William Dalrymple, Depuis la Montagne Sainte, Londres,

C'est l'un des lieux de pèlerinages chrétiens les plus importants du Proche-Orient. Son architecture s'inscrit dans la tradition byzantine la plus pure.
A visiter Le célèbre monastère Notre Dame de Seidnaya perché sur une colline de rocaille, est un lieu de pélerinage tant pour les chrétiens que pour les musulmans.
L'église Saint-Pierre, située à proximité de Notre Dame de Seidnaya, du côté sud-est, date de l'époque romaine, elle est très bien conservée.
Le monastère de Saint-Thomas, qui à l'origine était un temple romain.

BEFORE THE WAR - SYRIA ANCIENT CITIES SAIDNAYA & MALULA

Government-sponsored tour to attract pilgrims back to Christian holy site

Saidnaya which is located in the mountains 20 miles (32 kilometres) north of the Syrian capital, Damascus, was the seat of the ancient Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East.
The Greek Orthodox convent has many ancient associations with the Holy Bible and pilgrims from all over the world used to come to Saidnaya for renewal of faith and for healing.
It is also an area renowned for its faithfulness to Christianity.
In past times, when many cities and villages in Syria abandoned Christianity, Saidnaya always remained a zealous defender of the faith.
The convent rises above the town like a fortress and is dedicated to the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos.
It is home to an ancient icon of the Virgin, believed to be one of four extant icons painted by Saint Luke the Evangelist.
In the ancient Syriac language of the Middle East, the icon is called the Chahoura or Chaghoura, which means The Illustrious, Celebrated, or Renowned.
Many other religious icons, dating from fifth, sixth and seventh centuries adorn the walls of the convent.
Thousands of pilgrims from all over the world used to visit the holy site every year, particularly for its feast, the Nativity of the Theotokos on the eighth of September.
But after the start of Syria's civil war, concerns grew that hardline rebels trying to overthrow President Bashar Assad were increasingly targeting minority Christians.
This government tour was warmly welcomed by Sister Paraskevi, one of the 50 nuns in residence at the convent.
It is a very happy day for us, because of the presence of our guests today who used to come in the past, they returned today to visit the Virgin and to get blessed by her, she says.
All the believers who used to visit this place and stopped because of what has been happening, they came back and we are happy to see them with us again. May they come more and more, and may Syria stay healthy and prosper and be able to host all the believers!
The library at Saidnaya, which contains hundreds of valuable manuscripts, contains documents that show the convent was founded around the year 547.
It was said to have been built by Justinian I, Emperor of Byzantium, after he had a religious experience while travelling through the area.
The convent soon gained such renown that it came to be ranked second only to Jerusalem as a place of pilgrimage, and nuns from every corner of Syria, Egypt, and other lands have come here to pray for years.

FSA Terrorists Attack Ancient Convent in Saidnaya Housing Syria's Tallest Jesus Statue

The Cherubim convent situated on the highest summit of the Qalamoun mountains has recently erected the tallest Jesus statue in Syria, one that is even larger than that of Rio de Janeiro. However, militants from the Western-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) have been eyeing the convent for a while. They have attempted multiple times to get to the convent, especially by targeting Syrian Army tanks stationed outside the convent whose aim is to protect the ancient religious site from extremist Wahhabi militants fighting in the ranks of the FSA and their al-Qaeda allies.
