Saint Anthony’s Monastery
Deir Qozhaya的点评
点评：I will try to cover everything here.
The road to Saint Anthony’s Monastery in Qozhaya has long been known for being steep and difficult, although some improvements have been made recently and the access is better than it used to be.
The monastery itself is quite large, although you don’t have access to all of it. When you reach the parking area, you’ll find some of the monastery’s own agricultural produce for sale. For me, the highlights were always the apricots and apples.
There are also several caves where hermits used to live, which give you a real sense of the history and character of the place. Along the way, you pass a newer building that serves as a small guesthouse/hotel, where you can book a room for two or three people. If you stay there, you also have access to a large terrace with an incredible view over the valley. It must be especially beautiful in the evening, when you can sit there, enjoy the sunset, and take in the surrounding landscape.
The church square is beautiful. The exterior of the church has a distinctive Oriental architectural style and is partly carved directly into the rock. This is also a functioning monastery, not simply a historical site, so you may see monks going about their daily activities. If you are lucky, you may even witness a Mass celebrated by the monks.
The museum is also worth visiting. You can see old tools, books printed in Aramaic and Syriac, and material related to the monastery’s historic printing tradition. The monastery apparently had one of the oldest printing presses in the Middle East, dating back to the 17th century. Unfortunately, the original wooden press is no longer there. Instead, the museum displays a later Columbia printing press from the 19th century.
One particularly interesting object is a bishop’s staff said to have been gifted by Saint Louis, King of France.
The only real disappointment for me was the canteen/café. It is very basic, so if you are planning to stay overnight, I would recommend bringing something with you for dinner.
Another major reason to visit is the hiking. From the monastery, you can continue down toward the Qadisha Valley. At one point, take the right-hand path through the monastery’s garden, walking between the fruit trees, and you will eventually connect with the Qadisha Valley trail.
Personally, I find this particular trail to be one of the best in the Qadisha Valley. It is easy to moderate, with beautiful views throughout, and combines the natural scenery of the valley with the atmosphere and history of the monastery.
Overall, Saint Anthony’s Monastery in Qozhaya is much more than just a place to visit for a church or a museum. It is a living monastery, a historic site, and a great starting point for exploring the Qadisha Valley. If you have the time, I would definitely recommend staying overnight and doing the trail.

翻译：我会尽量把这里的所有内容都介绍清楚。
通往科扎亚的圣安东尼修道院的路向来以陡峭难行著称，不过最近路况有所改善，通行条件比过去好了许多。
修道院本身规模相当大，只是并非所有区域都对游客开放。到达停车场后，你会看到一些由修道院自己种植的农产品在出售。对我来说，最值得品尝的就是那里的杏子和苹果。这里还有几处隐士曾经居住的洞穴，能让你真切感受到这片土地的历史与特色。沿途你会经过一座较新的建筑，它被用作小型旅舍/酒店，你可以在那里预订可供两三人入住的房间。如果你入住于此，还能使用视野绝佳的宽敞露台，俯瞰整个山谷。傍晚时分定是美不胜收：你可以坐在那里欣赏日落，尽览周围的风景。教堂广场十分美丽。教堂的外观具有独特的东方建筑风格，有一部分更是直接雕刻在岩石上。这是一座仍在使用的修道院，而不仅仅是一处历史遗迹，因此你可能会看到修士们正在进行日常活动。运气好的话，你甚至能目睹修士们举行弥撒仪式。
博物馆也值得一逛。在那里你可以看到古老的工具，以及用阿拉米语和叙利亚语印刷的书籍。与该修道院悠久的印刷传统相关的物品及资料。据说这座修道院拥有中东地区最古老的印刷机之一，其历史可追溯到17世纪。遗憾的是，那台原始的木制印刷机如今已不在原处。博物馆里展出的是一台19世纪制造的哥伦比亚牌印刷机。
一件特别有趣的藏品是一根主教权杖，据称是法国国王圣路易所赠送的。对我而言，唯一真正令人失望的就是食堂/咖啡馆。它的设施非常简陋，所以如果你打算在这里过夜，我建议自带些食物作为晚餐。
另一个值得来访的理由就是徒步旅行。从修道院出发后，你可以继续向下前往卡迪沙山谷。在某个路口，沿着修道院花园中的右侧小径行走，穿过果树林，最终就能汇入通往卡迪沙山谷的步道。
就我个人而言……我觉得这条步道是卡迪沙谷中最佳的徒步路线之一。它的难度适中，沿途风景如画，既能欣赏到山谷的自然风光，又能感受到修道院的氛围与历史气息。
总的来说，科扎亚的圣安东尼修道院绝不仅仅是一处可以参观的教堂或博物馆而已。它是一座依然在使用的修道院，也是一处历史遗迹，更是探索卡迪沙谷的理想起点。如果你有时间的话……我绝对推荐在那里过夜并沿着步道游览。
