UNESCO - St. Catherine's Monastery, Egypt


St. Catherine's Monastery, or Santa Katarina, is one of the oldest working Christian monasteries in the world. It is Orthodox and situated at the mouth of a gorge at the foot of Mount Sinai. It is said that the relics of the eponymous martyr Saint Catherine of Alexandria were miraculously transported to Mount Sinai after her death by beheading in the 4th century.
The place looks amazing, thank you Zane for sending this card from your holidays! :)))
