Mount Nebo is a mountain of great historical and religious significance located in western Jordan. According to biblical tradition, it is the place where Moses, the revered prophet, was granted a final view of the Promised Land before his death. Overlooking the Jordan River valley, the Dead Sea, and on clear days, even distant views of Jerusalem, Mount Nebo offers breathtaking panoramic vistas that have inspired countless visitors over the centuries.

Today, Mount Nebo serves as an important pilgrimage site for Christians and a popular destination for tourists interested in history and culture. The area features ancient churches and monuments that commemorate its biblical past. Among these is a modern visitor center that provides detailed exhibits and interpretive displays about the life of Moses and the significance of the region in the context of the biblical narrative.

The landscape surrounding Mount Nebo is both serene and steeped in history. The mountain’s elevated position not only gives it a commanding view of the surrounding lands but also symbolizes the hope and promise that have echoed through the ages.

Sul Nebo, che è una sorta di balcone naturale che sovrasta la sottostante valle del Giordano e consente di spaziare con lo sguardo fino ai contrafforti di Gerusalemme, la narrazione biblica (e in particolare il capitolo 34 del libro del Deuteronomio) pone il luogo in cui Dio mostrò a Mosè la terra promessa agli israeliti reduci dalla fuga in Egitto e dalla traversata del deserto del Sinai e del Neghev. Una terra nella quale egli non avrebbe messo piede, perché infatti morì e fu seppellito sul posto. Sebbene il luogo esatto della sepoltura sia rimasto ignoto a tutti, una comunità di monaci si stabilì sul Monte Nebo, perpetuandovi la memoria di Mosè, dal Quarto al Nono secolo.

Nel corso del Novecento gli archeologi della Custodia di Terra Santa portarono alla luce l’antico monastero, la basilica e i meravigliosi mosaici in essa contenuti. Al fine di coprire e mettere in sicurezza il sito archeologico – e al contempo esporre i mosaici realizzati dai monaci nei vari periodi storici – ĆØ stato costruito il nuovo edificio che viene inaugurato proprio domani, 15 ottobre. Alle 16.00 ora locale ĆØ prevista una cerimonia riservata alle autoritĆ  religiose e civili e a un gruppo di invitati. SarĆ  il Custode di Terra Santa, fra Francesco Patton, ad aprire le porte della nuova basilica alla presenza, tra gli altri, dell’inviato speciale di Papa Francesco, il cardinale Leonardo Sandri, prefetto della Congregazione per le Chiese orientali, e di un membro della Casa Reale ashemita. I frati minori hanno invitato lo stesso re Abdallah II, il cui padre, Hussein, era amico personale dell’archeologo francescano fra Michele Piccirillo (1944-2008), che molto fece per valorizzare il patrimonio archeologico della Giordania ed ĆØ seppellito proprio nel recinto del santuario del Nebo.

La sera di domenica 16, alle 18.00, ĆØ previsto un rito religioso aperto a tutti i fedeli. Il cardinale Sandri presiederĆ  una messa solenne nella basilica e benedirĆ  il nuovo altare.

Entrambi i momenti saranno accompagnati dai canti del coro Fontana d’amore (Fountain of Love Choir) che giungerĆ  appositamente da Amman, la capitale giordana. Alle 21.00 seguirĆ  un concerto con l’inaugurazione ufficiale del nuovo organo, opera dell’artigiano italiano Nicola Puccini. L’installazione dello strumento e il concerto sono realizzati in collaborazione con l’ambasciata d’Italia in Giordania. Nel corso della serata si esibiranno l’organista italiano Eugenio Maria Fagiani, i solisti delĀ Fountain of Love ChoirĀ e il famoso suonatore di oud Tareq Al-Jundi, accompagnato da Nasser Salameh al raq.

Dal giorno 17 il luogo santo sarĆ  regolarmente aperto alle visite. Il programma delle celebrazioni prevede anche dei momenti formativi dedicati alle guide turistiche e in particolare un laboratorio – proprio il 17 ottobre – tenuto da fra Eugenio Alliata, responsabile scientifico del progetto di restauro, dall’architetto Osama Hamdan, direttore dei lavori per la riapertura del Memoriale e da Franco Sciorilli, responsabile del restauro dei mosaici. Le scolaresche potranno iscriversi alle visite guidate del mese di novembre. Per tutti sono programmate visite guidate in inglese e arabo nei giorni 17 e 18 ottobre.

A seguito delle recenti nuove scoperte e in occasione della riapertura del Memoriale di MosĆØ, fra Eugenio Alliata ha riscritto la storia del Monte Nebo e del Memoriale, ripercorrendo le testimonianze antiche e illustrando il lavoro degli archeologi francescani (Sylvester J. Saller, Bellarmino Bagatti, Virgilio Corbo, Michele Piccirillo, Eugenio Alliata, Carmelo Pappalardo) fino al progetto attuale. In attesa di pubblicare una guida completa, per l’occasione Alliata ha realizzato uno snello fascicolo che ĆØ a disposizione (in inglese, formato pdf) nelĀ sito...

A beautiful historical place on top of Mount Nebo in Jordan. It has a small but beautiful museum around it. Despite the heat below in surrounding areas beloe, even in June-July, the place receives very pleasant breeze. There is also a center nearby displaying and selling some of the best mosaic artwork in Jordan. Mount NeboĀ (Arabic:Ā Ų¬ŁŽŲØŁŽŁ„ Ł†ŁŁŠŲØŁŁˆ,Ā romanized:Ā Jabal NÄ«bÅ«;Ā Hebrew: הַר × Ö°×‘×•Ö¹ā€Ž,Ā romanized:Ā Har NÉ™įø‡Å) is an elevatedĀ ridgeĀ located inĀ Jordan, approximately 710 metres (2,330Ā ft)Ā above sea level. Part of theĀ AbarimĀ mountain range, Mount Nebo is mentioned in theĀ BibleĀ as the place whereĀ MosesĀ was granted a view of theĀ Promised LandĀ before his death. The view from the summit provides a panorama of theĀ West BankĀ across theĀ Jordan RiverĀ valley. The city ofĀ JerichoĀ is usually visible from the summit, as isĀ JerusalemĀ on a very clear day. The biblical town of Nebo, now known asĀ Khirbet al-Mukhayyat, is located 3.5 km away. Attractions near Memorial Church of Moses are:

Visiting the Memorial Church of Moses atop Mount Nebo was a deeply moving experience. This site, believed to be where Moses glimpsed the Promised Land before his passing, offers not only spiritual significance but also breathtaking panoramic views of the Jordan Valley, Dead Sea, and, on clear days, even Jerusalem . ļæ¼ The modern basilica, constructed over a 4th-century Byzantine church, houses some of Jordan’s most exquisite mosaics. These intricate artworks, dating back to around 530 CE, depict vivid scenes of pastoral life, animals, and geometric patterns, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of the era . ļæ¼ ļæ¼ A notable feature is the Brazen Serpent Monument, a striking sculpture symbolizing the bronze serpent created by Moses in the wilderness, which also resonates with Christian symbolism . ļæ¼ The site’s serene ambiance, combined with its rich historical and religious context, makes it a must-visit for anyone traveling through Jordan. Whether you’re drawn by faith, history, or art, the Memorial Church of Moses offers a unique and enriching experience.
