Mount Sinai is revered by Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike as the place where Moses received the Ten Commandments. And, according to belief, it was in the valley below that God spoke to him from a burning bush.
Nestled in the shadow of the sacred mountain is the Monastery of St. Catherine (Deir Sant Katreen), where communities of monks have lived almost uninterruptedly since its founding in the sixth century. Before the monastery, there was a chapel on this site, established in the fourth century AD. by the Empress Helena at the place where tradition says that Moses saw the burning bush. This soon became a Place of pilgrimage, and in the sixth century a fortified monastery was added by the Emperor Justinian to protect the monks and pilgrims from raiders. It was not until much ; later that the establishment was dedicated to St. Catherine. She was an early Christian saint who was Martyred in Alexandria in the forth century.
