The site formerly cohabited with a church.
Known in Islam as the People of the Caveâ¨(Ahl al-Kahf in Arabic), the Seven Sleepers are said to have miraculously slept for several centuries in a cave in order to escape from the persecutions of the Roman Empire. Their awakening is a metaphor for the resurrectionâ¨of the body, in both Christianity and in Islamâ¨(Qurâanic sura âThe Caveâ). The narrativesâ¨of the Seven Sleepers were widely disseminated. Numerous caves in the Mediterranean region are considered to be sacred places where this miracle occurred. This legend has sometimes given rise to joint veneration by Christians and Muslims.
