NAIN, or NAIM, situated at the bottom of Mount Hermon on the north side, was anciently a city of the tribe of Issachar, in the province of Galilee. It was near the gates of this city that our Saviour restored to life the only son of a widow, and where he inspired Mary Magdalen to come and mourn for her sins at his feet. These circumstances alone make this place worthy of notice; for at present Nain is only a hamlet inhabited by Christians, Mahometans, and Hebrews, where there is not a single monument to attract the curiosity of the traveller.
