Description

This Carmelite sisterhood facility was apparently built up around the discovery of an old tablet bearing the traditional 'Pater Noster' ('Our Father') prayer, in the vicinity of a tomb of a woman ascribed to various Jewish, Christian, and Muslim holy women. The most interesting feature of the church is the display of translations of the prayer in dozens of languages -- because it's one of the first things Christian missionaries to various parts of the world tended to translate, and it's short!, it's actually frequently used as a language sample in non-religious contexts as well. Here we see the Latin, Arabic, and Armenian forms. Most languages are presented in their native scripts (where they exist), though a few are romanized (there's I think both a Tamil version in Tamil script and another one in Latin script, for instance!)
