Greek-Orthodox: Monastery Of St.Catherien, Sinai (Egypt). Video

For 16 centuries ancient St.Catherine’s monastery has braved the elements in the harsh Sinai mountains, a tiny Christian island in an Islamic sea, where past ages of Byzantine greatness have been preserved in the world’s finest icon collection and an library surpassed by the great Vatican Library only. As a monk says: “God’s capital on earth must be Sinai, because it is here where he wrote his laws”…This is the place of the Burning Bush, Moses and the Ten Commandments, the Dance around the Golden Calf and the Ark of the Covenant.
