August 2006 - Edited page to correct name of this monastic community's associated saint to Saint Sabas and linked to Wikipedia article for that saint. Also added reference to the fact that this monastery is called by another name, Santa Saba, especially in an historical context. A web search for convent santa saba or monastery santa saba turns up many old lithographs and photographs of this location, and I first came to the article while reading John Lloyd Stephens Incidents of Travel in Egypt, Arabia Petraea, and the Holy Land wherein the author refers to this community as Santa Saba.
