The Church of the Holy Forefathers and Monastery of the Holy Trinity (Russian: храм св. Праотцев и Троицкий монастырь), also known as Al Maskobiya^[1][2] (Arabic: كنيسة المسكوبية), is a Russian Orthodox monastery and church in Hebron, Palestine, founded in the 20th century on the site of the ancient Oak of Mamre.^[3]

The lands were acquired by Archimandrite Antonin (Kapustin) for the Russian Church in the 19th century and later expanded.^[4] It was held by the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR) until 1997, when Palestinian authorities turned the compound over to the Moscow-based Russian Orthodox Church.^[5] Ownership disputes continue,^[6] although the ROCOR in 2007 restored its ties as a semi-autonomous part of the Russian Orthodox Church.^{[citation needed]}

It is located approximately 4 km to the southwest of Haram al-Ramat Mamre, the site of another "oak of Abraham" described by Josephus, surrounded with an enclosure by Herod the Great, and where Constantine the Great built a basilica in the 4th century.
