About this organization
Early Christianity viewed Elijah as the father of monasticism, and from that time hermits who sought Gods presence in solitude lived on Mount Carmel. Carmelites started as a group of hermits who around 1200 inhabited the Carmel mountain area. They wished to lead a life like that of Elijah, the exemplary solitary one. By physically experiencing his solitude on Mount Carmel they hoped to attain contact with the same God before whose face he stood.
