Perched on a rock formation high above the plains below, Mount Nebo holds a monastery with famous mosaics.
The church was built here in memory of Moses, who walked up this mount and died here. There is a monument to his memory, and a modern monument erected by John Paul II in 2000. The mosaics depict such human and apparently eternal things like wine-making and hunting, with many images of animals and trees. When I stepped outside and enjoyed the view once more, I could not help but think about the fact that the view on that Holy Land below has not changed much over the centuries, no matter its sad history.
