Had a simple and quiet lunch here at the monastery arranged by our pilgrimage operator. This after mass by our group and visiting the church itself with a statue of Virgin Mary venerated by many Catholics here. A cave underneath the altar is the statue of Prophet Elijah who had lived here for sometime. If you want to experience some solitude, this place in Haifa is the place to be.

As you can see by reading the reviews and the commenst from lea, you must pre coordinate your trip to Ein Hod. We did andhad a lovely experience. We had a tour of the artists village and then met with a few artists before having our own workshop with Lea - one of the artists. We did screen printing which was loads of fun. Only one of the four of us was an artist but the rest of us were still able to enjoy the art project. It was a highlight of the trip. A very interesting and unique community of 150 families in Ein Hod that are all artists. It would be hard to experience the village without having a tour guide. Many of the galleries are in peoples homes so not always open of accessible for those that just drop in. Definitey a lovely off the beaten path kind of experience. I would highly recommend.
