The monastery is built around a central courtyard. An arched entrance leads to the monks' compound. The church surrounded by monk's rooms is in the center of the complex: the crypt and a dining room built beneath the courtyard level. The local tradition says that after Euthymius' death, his image was revealed to his followers. Abtimius worked hard to establish a strong foundation of religion and turned many Jews and pagans into Christianity. He was declared a saint, and his memorial day is January 20.
A beautiful day trip in the Judean Desert starts in the monastery of Euthymius the Great. It leads us to the water source of Ein Mabuah in the Prat creek, where a spectacular overlook to Wadi Qelt is open. Afterward, it takes us to the Good Samaritan museum with the magnificent mosaic collection, paves the steps to the St. Georgius Monastery in Faran creek, and ends in Nabi Musa - place where Moses was buried by Muslims tradition.
