Inside St. Catherine's Monastery on Mount Sinai | You Asked For It

Discover the sacred and historical wonders of St. Catherine's Monastery, nestled at the foot of Mount Sinai, where Moses received the Ten Commandments. This Greek Orthodox fortress-monastery, filled with priceless treasures, has withstood the test of time, surviving marauders and art thieves for centuries. Our exclusive look takes you behind its heavily guarded gates to explore a library housing over 8,000 ancient books and manuscripts, second only to the Vatican's collection. Witness the monastery's collection of over 2,000 sacred icons, some dating back to the 6th century AD, a sight never before seen on television. Learn about the Byzantine Roman Emperor Justinian's orders to build this fortress in 530 AD and how it has since found peace and protection in its alliance with local Bedouin tribes. Experience the spiritual tradition of baking holy bread, a symbol of gratitude and unity between the Christian monks and their Muslim neighbors. Finally, visit the somber yet revered site where the skulls of monks, serving over 14 centuries, rest as a testament to their devotion. Join us on this remarkable journey through St. Catherine's Monastery, where history, art, and religious harmony intertwine, all because you asked for it.

Interesting, but music far too loud and intrusive

Agree. Wish we could go back and change that aspect of some of the archive.

Interesting for sure, but I'd hate to be the bearer of bad news -- that's not Mt Sinai.

[@youaskedforit]

So then, where is St. Catherine’s located?
