According to the Bible, Mount Quarantania is the location where Jesus was ‘tempted by the devil’. (The name derives from the Latin word quarantena, which means 40, as in the number of days that Jesus fasted). From Matthew 4:8: ‘Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor’. “All this I will give you”, he said, “if you will bow down and worship me ”. When she arrived at a point high up on the mountain, Yasmin saw a Muslim man praying towards the Monastery that was built over centuries within the rocks. Now owned by the Orthodox church, a monk was sitting on the building's balcony, overlooking Jericho.
