Abstract
The glass finds from the Ḥura monastery are typical of sixth–seventh-century CE ecclesiastical complexes: the wineglass, bottles and jugs may have been used in the church liturgy; the lamps probably illuminated the monastery halls; and the windowpanes appear to have been part of the monastery building. Thus, the glass finds from Ḥura attest to an active Christian community, which probably ceased to be active in the Umayyad period (the eighth century CE).
