Kibarouna in Khenchara for the History

Kibarouna took the road to the wonderful Khenchara village known for its traditional red-roofed houses and mostly for the St. John’s Monastery founded 1696-97. Our elderly group was warmly welcomed by the priests who proudly spoke about the Historical Monastery.

After taking part in a heart –warming mass, they had breakfast and then visited the first Arabic printing Press of the Middle East. A five-room museum which displays the old presses and hundreds of related objects and pieces of equipment dated to 1726 and 1733.

Later the group spent time purchasing fresh goodies prepared by the priests to take home as gifts for their loved ones.
