Nuns of St. Benet de Montserrat www.monestirsantbenetmontserrat.com/regina www.monestirsantbenetmontserrat.com/regina The grotto of the Eschatological Sermon seems that to already be important in 326, when St. Helen decided to build here the basilica in memory of the Ascension, leaving the Grotto as a crypt. Egeria speaks of meeting of Christians in this place. But the basilica of St. Helen, which remained unfinished, was completely destroyed by the Persians in 614. Eventually, in the grotto, will celebrate, too, the teaching of the Lord's prayer, and today it is next to a Carmelite Monastery, where, in the cloister there is the prayer of the Lord's prayer in many languages.
