The Golden Monastery of St. Catherine, also known as the Sacred Monastery of the God-Trodden Mount Sinai, serves as a divine gateway to the bliss, power, and wisdom of the Almighty, whose voice resonated throughout this sacred region. Founded in 565 AD by Byzantine Emperor Justinian I, the monastery is named after St. Catherine of Alexandria, a Christian martyr. The site itself holds a much older significance, as biblical Mount Sinai is traditionally identified as the location where Moses received the Ten Commandments. Within the monastery grounds lies the revered Chapel of the Burning Bush, believed to mark the spot of Moses' encounter with the burning bush. St. Catherine’s Monastery showcases a blend of architectural styles reflecting its long history. The complex is surrounded by fortified walls and includes the Basilica of the Transfiguration, a chapel dedicated to St. Catherine, a library, and several other buildings. The church contains exquisite religious icons, sacred relics, and ancient manuscripts. The monastery’s extensive library holds a vast collection of ancient texts, including the renowned Codex Sinaiticus—one of the oldest surviving copies of the Christian Bible dating to the 4th century AD. Alongside these treasures, the library preserves a remarkable array of icons and religious artifacts, offering visitors a unique combination of spirituality, history, and natural beauty within this sacred sanctuary.
