Where is Palestine?
Palestine is a geographic region in Western Asia. It is usually considered to include the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Israel, and in some definitions, some parts of western Jordan. The name was used by ancient Greek writers, and it was later used for the Roman province Syria Palaestina, the Byzantine Palaestina Prima, and the Islamic provincial district of Jund Filastin. The region comprises most of the territory claimed for the biblical regions known as the Land of Israel, the Holy Land or Promised Land. Historically, it has been known as the southern portion of wider regional designations such as Canaan, Syria, ash-Sham, and the Levant. Situated at a strategic location between Egypt, Syria and Arabia, and the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity, the region has a long and tumultuous history as a crossroads for religion, culture, commerce, and politics.
Where is Awarta?
Awarta is a Palestinian town located 8 kilometers (5 mi) southeast of Nablus, in the northern West Bank. Awarta was an important Samaritan center between the 4th and the 12th century and housed one of their major synagogues. It is home to several holy sites revered by Samaritans, Jews and Muslims, the most well-known include: 1. Phinehas: Grandson of Aaron (son of Eleazar), whose traditional burial site at the Hill of Phinehas is the most prominent landmark in Awarta. 2. Eleazar: Son of Aaron the High Priest. His traditional tomb (al-Azeir) is situated on a hill in the village. 3. Ithamar: Son of Aaron, also believed to be buried in the town. 4. Abishua: Son of Phinehas, revered especially in Samaritan tradition as the author of the Abisha Scroll (Torah). 5. The 70 Elders: Traditional accounts hold that the seventy elders who assisted Moses are buried in a cave near the tomb of Phinehas. 6. Ezra the Scribe / Nabi Uzeir: A site on the western side of the town is attributed by local Muslim tradition to Nabi Uzeir (Ezra). 7. Mufaddal: According to historical Samaritan chronicles, the son of Aaron's uncle is also recorded as being entombed in the area.
