About The Guest House

History
On October 7, 1884, novices who were admited to profession pronounced their three vows of religion which consecrated them to the Lord and Our Lady.

With these nine founding Sisters, the Congregation of the Rosary, so earnestly desired by the Holy Virgin, was from then on established. It only remained now, to launch into apostolic action in order to realize the program indicated by heaven.

The Guest House Today
The Rosary Convent in Ein Karem was built and given to reside the first Rosary nuns in 1885. It was given by the founder, Rev. Joseph Tannous, to the congregation of the Rosary.

The convent was then used as an orphanage, cared for and maintained by a community of nuns headed by Sister Hanneh, and her aid Sister Agatha. In 1999, the convent was renovated and expanded to include a guesthouse located in one of the most serene and picturesque locations in the area: Ein Karem.

Comments
"Agatha, Bella... thank you for the variety, for the freedom and space, for the love, and for the simplicity!" - Tali

"Our stay in Israel was short, but definitely worthwhile. After long hours in the city, we found Ein Karem an excellent location to end our day and relax. A truly unique and peaceful location in a not-so-peaceful greater location. We have shared stories and pictures of our stay with our friends in America. Thank you for your nice hospitality, and we hope to see you again soon." - David & Sarah.
