Our garden.
Since time immemorial Benedictine monasteries have been places of hospitality. People, who are traveling, literally on journeys, and on spiritual journeys seek out the atmosphere of the monastery, its rhythm of prayer and work, the possibility for silence and recollection.
Lunch with guests on a feast day in the abbey's refectorium.
At Dormition there are several possibilities for accommodation. During the period when the Study Year is in session, we have unfortunately few rooms available for monastery guests, who are making a private pilgrimage or wish to spend a quiet time in the Holy Land.
In the vacation period, from about Easter time until the end of July, we are able to accommodate small pilgrimage groups in Beit Josef, for whom the possibility of participating in our worship is important.
