The monastery of saint Catherine

---

The Monastery of Saint Catherine in Sinai History and Guide At the foot of Mount Sinai, where Moses received the Law, sits one of the oldest Christian monasteries in the world—the Monastery of Saint Catherine. A haven of tranquility for the community of Greek Orthodox monks who live, work, and pray within its walls, it also houses magnificent collections of icons, scripts, and books, some from the very earliest centuries of the Christian era. The monastery’s long existence and its priceless and virtually intact collections can almost certainly be attributed to its location, tucked away in the barren rocky landscape of south Sinai—land of Biblical history and legend, of hermits and pilgrims.
