The Monastery of St. Michael is almost the only monastery in Jaffa, where the Romanian Church and the Russian Orthodox Church built unique relations. After the devastating fire in 1994, the Romanian congregation renovated the Church. The iconography of its interior strongly compensates for the external modesty. In the Holy Land, it is customary to sanctify St. George. Not far from Jaffa lies the ancient city of Lida (Lod) - a town that Georgios was born. Despite this, the Church in Jaffa is dedicated to Archangel Michael. Why? The angels Gabriel and Michael are God's messengers and are mentioned in various scenes from the Gospel. The Romanian Church, which has almost no congregations in the Holy Land, except in Jaffa, strengthens its value and reinforces it by dedicating the monastery church to Archangel Michael. The Greek Orthodox community also existed in Jaffa. Many lands outside the city belonged to her—for example, a church and monastery of St. Tabitha. The much-weakened Greek community in the late 19th century handed over its lands to the Russian Church. Thus, it received protection and sponsorship from the Russian Church, in contrast to the Romanian Church, maintaining its independence. The Greek, Romanian and Russian communities are all from the Orthodox stream of Christians. The excellent relationship between the Romanian Church inside the city and the Greek Church outside the town - is an almost isolated example in the delicate fabric of the Mediterranean reality of Jaffa.
