Monastery Saint Claire (Nazareth)
The Monastery Saint Claire (French: Monastère Sainte-Claire; Hebrew: נזירות סנט קליר, Nazirot Sanat Qlīr; Arabic: راهبات القدیصة کلارا, Rāhibāt al-Qudīṣah Klārā), also known as the Convent of Mary's Fear and by other names, is a convent of the Poor Clares on Tremor Hill in southern Nazareth, Israel. Established in 1884, it is primarily known for the productive time the now-sainted Charles de Foucauld spent there at the end of the 19th century. Expelled from the Ottoman Empire at the onset of World War I, the nuns of the abbey relocated to Malta, founding a new community there. The Sisters of St Clare returned to Nazareth in 1949 but used newer facilities on 3105 Street on the north slope of Tremor Hill. Their former location beside what is now Paulus HaShishi Street was repaired by the Servants of Charity for use as a special needs school in the 1970s.
