 The Site
The church is on Jebel
el-Webdeh at the junction of Nimer ibn
'Adwan Street and Mallah Street. It lies
on a ridge of a steep slope overlooking
two valleys, Wadi Saqra and Misdar
el-Madhneh (Valley of the Minaret), west
of Jebel el-Qal'a. The immediate area
rises in two rounded platforms from the
hill, the uppermost one penetrated by at
least four caves and a large water
cistern. Three of the caves have the
remains of mosaic floors. The church
itself lies on the flat platform of the
lower terrace and in front of the largest
cave.
