"The Last Christian Village in the Holy Land"

John 11:54 states: "Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples."
The name of the village was changed from Ephraim to Taybeh around 1187, by the Islamic leader Saladin.

Holy St, George, as the deliverer of captives and defender of the poor, healer of the infirm and champion of kings, victorious great martyr George intercede with Christ our God for our souls' salvation, for all those embattled in Our Lord's Holy Land, and for me, the chief of sinners.
Lord have mercy on your Holy Land and upon me, a sinner.
