Transcript 348 PICTURESQUE PALESTINE. flight of steps (see page 236) leads us up to it, through two archways. At the gate of the first sat in ages past St. Stephen the porter (whose skeleton now guards the dismal charnel- house far below in the convent garden), to shrive pilgrims and pass them on for further examination to the confessors, who were stationed at the second gateway with its illeoible GARDENS NEAR THE MOUTH OF WADY LEJA. The winding road seen in the cliffs leads up to Jebel Tiniyeh, where are the remains of the half-finished palace of the late 'Abbas Pasha. inscription in Greek characters. This gateway opens on to the plateau, and gives immediate access therefore to the holy places. On this mountain plain stands a small building containing two chapels dedicated respectively to Elijah and Elisha; and on the right of the altar of the inner chapel is the grotto in which the prophet is said to have dwelt during his sojourn on Sinai.
