As far as the number of visitors to the religious places in the orient, the Patriarchal Monastery of our Lady of Sednaya ranks second in importance after Holy Jerusalem.
The monastery is located at a high hill overlooking the Village of Sednaya. It's library comprises many precious manuscripts which indicate that it was built in about 547 A.D.
Story of the Monastery's construction:
Historians narrate that when the Byzantine Emperor Justine I went out with his soldiers to attack the Persians, he crossed Syria and reached its desert where his soldiers, their horses and equipment camped for a rest. Soon they became very thirsty due to the scarcity of water there. While they were in that painful situation the king saw a deer. He chased it zealously until it was exhausted due to its tire and fell down on the top of a rocky hill. Subsequently, it went towards an edible fountain. The deer leave a chance there for the king to kill it but it transformed into an icon of our Virgin Lady from which a great light was radiating …Out of the icon a white hand went out and extended from afar to the king. It said to him: “You will not kill me, Justine … but you will erect a church for me on this hill”…Once again, the Virgin (deer) appeared again (deer) in his dream and guided him to bombastic design of the church. It is said that this design represents the same architecture of the present holy monastery which still preserve its grandeur and Byzantine beauty until today.
This event was embodied through a wonderful artistic portrait. It is now
hung over the Shaghoura Shrine, It was drawn by a Greek artist. It denotes as to how the monastery was built, and the portrait is more expressive than words .
The more important section of this Monastery is Shaghoura Shrine. It is a small dark room, illuminated always by candles and oil. It has an arched roof from which many lights full of oil dangle. At the eastern wall there is an aperture with a silver mesh, above which there are various pieces and chains of gold and silver and crosses endowed by visitors at various times.
Behind this closed mesh and inside an opening which is dug in the wall, the icon of our Virgin Lady is kept. It is one of the four original copies drawn by the hand of the Apostle Luke the Preaching Apostle. It is called in Syriac " Shahoura or Shaghoura", means the well-known, the renown . In the Shrine, there are artistic icons and others for Virgin Lady which date back to the 15th, 16th, and 17th Centuries A.D. Old books talked about this place and narrated episodes about this miraculous icon as this icon has cured many sick people.
As for the church, it is big and well constructed. Jesuitical Father Jason I -1660 narrated that this church resembles the greatest and most beautiful churches in France. The temple is separated from the church yard by the stand which carries the iconostasis of colored and engraved wood. It resembles in its grandeur the most beautiful churches in the world. It dates back to the 18th century . In front and behind the temple there is spreading of colored mosaic which represents some animals which is very charming. There are tens of ancient and rare icons inside the church which are considered archeologically a treasure . The church has three beautiful domes, the biggest is in the middle one where it is permeated with light from all sides. In 1728 the Russian tourist Barski found that the church looks like Church of Tor Sinai, but more beautiful. The church was renewed in 1780.
The monastery contains many rooms. The visitor can enter to the monastery through a small thick wooden door overlaid with iron.

Museum & Library:
It lies beside Shaghoura Shrine, containing a big and assorted quantity of tools, dresses, icons, and holy books where all that ushers the monastery's history.
