 * Bethany.
   Bethany was a village to the east of the mount of Olives, on
   the road to Jericho; fifteen stadia, (Joh. 11:18) or nearly
   two miles, as Jerome states, from Jerusalem.  This village is
   now small and poor, and the cultivation of the soil around it
   is much neglected; but it is a pleasant, romantic spot, shaded
   by the mount of Olives, and abounding in vines and long grass.
   It consists of from thirty to forty dwellings inhabited by
   about 600; Mohammedans, for whose use there is a neat little
   mosque standing on an eminence.  Here they shew the ruins of a
   sort of castle as the house of Lazarus, and a grotto as his
   tomb; and the house of Simon the leper, of Mary Magdalene and
   of Martha, and the identical tree which our Lord cursed, are
   among the monkish curiosities of the place.
