Russian nuns from the Mount of Olives frequently stayed at our house when they would visit Bethlehem on big holidays. Nun Tatyana, whom my brother Ilia and I called our “Russian grandmother” would visit. Ilia was killed at the front in Jordan when he was 23 years old... She brought me to the convent, “only for a couple of months,” and as it turned out, for the rest of my life.
