À Mujeidel, la fête des Saints Archanges
The Custodian of the Holy Land, Brother Francesco Ielpo, celebrated the feast of the Holy Archangels at the monastery of Saint Michael the Archangel in Mujeidel. Located in Migdal HaEmek near Nazareth, the small Franciscan convent served as a gathering place for local parishioners and the brothers of Galilee.
During the celebration, Brother Ielpo blessed a new portal at the monastery. This addition is intended to make the hermitage more accessible to pilgrims, guests, and the local community seeking prayer and reflection.
Before the liturgy, Brother Ielpo planted an olive tree in the sanctuary garden. Some members of the local Jewish community participated in the planting, which served as a symbol of the land and a gesture of peace. Brother Fadi Shallufi serves as the guardian of the site.
