 | | Now, opposite to Thabor, and a mile and a half north of Endûr (doubtless the Biblical Endor), lies a village called Naîn ("pleasantness"). |
 | | It is situated on the northwestern ridge of Jebel Dahy, the Little Hermon, and commands a magnificent view. |
 | | A steep path leads up to the village, passing by the site of an ancient church which has been converted into a mosque, "Moukâm Lidna Aisa" (Oratory of the Lord Jesus). |
