Perched at the western edge of Mount Carmel, high above the Mediterranean and the coastal city of Haifa is Stella Maris Monastery and church. The name of the 19th-century monastery Latin for Star of the Sea refers not to the magnificent view, but rather to an early title accorded Mary, the mother of Jesus. The monastery is the world headquarters of a Catholic religious order of friars and nuns, the Carmelites. The order had its origins at the end of the 12th century when St Berthold, a Frenchman who had gone to the Holy Land as a Crusader, had a vision of Christ denouncing the evil done by soldiers.
