Last night, Xmas eve, I tagged along to a midnight mass held in a monastery in Latrun, not far from Modiin. Being Jewish, I have never been to anything like that before, and I must say it was really interesting! (Except for the incense that made me feel nauseous ;) Being a photographer really gets me to places I would never have dreamed of going to!
Anyway, this monastery is also called The Monastery of Silence, as apparently the monks there have taken upon themselves the vow of silence. It was founded in 1890 by the Trappist order, and this is their only monastery in Israel.

Awesome Ingrid! I love it that you always find the inspiration to capture moments like these.
Beautiful photos Ingrid - as always!
Ingrid, what an amazing opportunity to go to places that we - other people - would never dream of visiting. I love your photography and your blogs. Keep up the good work :-)
Thank u!!
GORGEOUS photos and lighting, Ingrid! I am surprised that you were allowed to enter ... Well, I've been there myself, but just a man could enter their wine cellar ... No woman, and it was hard for me as a photogrpher. We made a Reportage for Aftenposten a few years ago. Very interesting monks! Hugs, Mona
