Haceldama (also spelt Akeldama, Aceldama, Hekeldama and Hakeldama) Monastery of Jerusalem, may well illustrate the idea of ​​ the "narrow gate" to enter the Kingdom, and of how, passing through it, we can widen it for those of East and West. This is what happened in this place of Haceldama, purchased with the 30 pieces of silver Judas returned, after receiving them for the death of Jesus and where Judas hanged himself. From the OT this was a cursed place, since here some kings of Israel came to burn their children in honor of Moloch. Field of blood, the death of Jesus turned it into "burial of foreigners." And very soon in hermitage for saints (the first was St Onuphrius) and currently Orthodox Monastery of Nuns.
