The Monastery of the Temptation, a Greek Orthodox monastery built on the slopes of the Mount of Temptation. According to the Gospels of Matthew (4:1-11) and Luke (4:1-13), this sacred site is where the devil tempted Jesus as he fasted for forty days and forty nights. The Mount of Temptation is also sometimes referred to as Mount Quarantania, which arises from the Latin word quarentena, meaning 40.
