 Oak of Mamre

The Oak of Mamre (also called the Oak of Sibta), at Khirbet es-Sibte (also as Ain Sibta), is a site venerated by some as the "Oak of Abraham", and distinct from the more ancient site of Mamre.It owes its name to an ancient tree, which seems to be dead but has a young sprig growing next to it, and stands on the grounds of the modern Russian Orthodox Monastery of the Holy Trinity.
