Saint Catherine's Monastery, on the Sinai Peninsula, Mount Sinai, Eastern Orthodox Church,
Saint Catherine's Monastery (Greek: Μονὴ τῆς Ἁγίας Αἰκατερίνης, Monē tēs Hagias Aikaterinēs, Arabic: دير القدّيسة كاترين), officially Sacred Monastery of the God-Trodden Mount Sinai (Modern Greek: Ιερά Μονή του Θεοβαδίστου Όρους Σινά, 176, Ierá Moní tou Theovadístou Órous Siná), lies on the Sinai Peninsula, at the mouth of a gorge at the foot of Mount Sinai, in the city of Saint Catherine, Egypt in the South Sinai Governorate. The monastery is controlled by the autocephalous Church of Sinai, part of the wider Eastern Orthodox Church, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Built between 548 and 565, the monastery is one of the oldest working Christian monasteries in the world.[1][2] The site contains the world's oldest continually operating library, possessing many unique books including the Syriac Sinaiticus and, until 1859, the Codex Sinaiticus.[3][4] A small town with hotels and swimming pools, called Saint Katherine City, has grown around the monastery.Beautiful places to travel to game :

10 υπέροχα μέρη για ταξίδια, τα καλύτερα τουριστικά αξιοθέατα σε όλο τον κόσμοThe monastery library preserves the second largest collection of early codices and manuscripts in the world, outnumbered only by the Vatican Library. It contains Greek, Arabic, Armenian, Coptic, Hebrew, Georgian, and Aramaic texts.
In May 1844 and February 1859, Constantin von Tischendorf visited the monastery for research and discovered the Codex Sinaiticus, dating from the 4th Century, at the time the oldest almost completely preserved manuscript of the Bible. The finding from 1859 left the monastery in the 19th century for Russia, in circumstances that had been long disputed. But in 2003 Russian scholars discovered the donation act for the manuscript signed by the Council of Cairo Metochion and Archbishop Callistratus on 13 November 1869. The monastery received 9000 rubles as a gift from Tsar Alexander II of Russia.[14] The Codex was sold by Stalin in 1933 to the British Museum and is now in the British Library, London, where it is on public display. Prior to September 1, 2009, a previously unseen fragment of Codex Sinaiticus was discovered in the monastery's library.[15][16]
In February 1892, Agnes Smith Lewis identified a palimpsest in St Catherine's library that became known as the Syriac Sinaiticus and is still in the Monastery's possession. Agnes and her sister Margaret Dunlop Gibson returned with a team of scholars that included J. Rendel Harris, to photograph and transcribe the work in its entirety.[17] As the manuscript predates the Codex Sinaiticus, it became crucial in understanding the history of the New Testament.

The Monastery also has a copy of the Ashtiname of Muhammad, in which the Islamic prophet Muhammad is claimed to have bestowed his protection upon the monastery.[18]
The most important manuscripts have since been filmed or digitized, and so are accessible to scholars. A team of imaging scientists and scholars from the USA and Europe is using spectral imaging techniques developed for imaging the Archimedes Palimpsest to study more than one hundred palimpsests in the monastery library.[19] The library will be extensively renovated for some time.[20]
Works of art[edit]
The complex houses irreplaceable works of art: mosaics, the best collection of early icons in the world, many in encaustic, as well as liturgical objects, chalices and reliquaries, and church buildings. The large icon collection begins with a few dating to the 5th (possibly) and 6th centuries, which are unique survivals, the monastery having been untouched by Byzantine iconoclasm, and never sacked. The oldest icon on an Old Testament theme is also preserved there. A project to catalogue the collections has been ongoing since the 1960s. The monastery was an important centre for the development of the hybrid style of Crusader art, and still retains over 120 icons created in the style, by far the largest collection in existence. Many were evidently created by Latins, probably monks, based in or around the monastery in the 13th century.[21]

Jenazah yang tidak reput adalah satu fenomena yang menentang hukum sains. Jenazah alim-ulamak dari Gereja Kristian Katolik ini tidak mereput secara semulajadi walaupun telah dikebumikan beratus malah ribuan tahun dahulu. seperti mumia yang wujud hingga ke hari ini, kumpulan mummia dari Gereja Katolik ini memang tidak diawet/dirawat tetapi terpelihara secara diluar penjelasan rasional para saintis... bagi orang percaya pada kebesaran Ilahi, fenomena ini adalah satu Mukjizat dari Tuhan bahawa orang-orang benar akan mengalahkan kematian dan membuktikan kebangkitan jasad pada hari penghakiman kelak... Renungilah kehidupan suci mereka semasa hayat di dunia yang penuh dengan teladan dan cintakasih sesama manusia
According to Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History, investigators using a portable X-ray machine discovered a cranium, ribs, as well as bones from hands, feet and legs inside the sculpted containers.
Investigators also saw that while the extremities of the reliquaries were made of wax, the torsos were constructed from cloth.
The bones contained within them are from saints as well, though not necessarily the same saint that is represented by the sculpture.
Sanchez said the information will allow conservationists to develop preservation and restauration strategies for the reliquaries located in the Mexico City cathedral.
Assisting in the project is Dr. Jose Luis Velazquez, a veterinarian from the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
Velazquez used the handheld X-ray machine to collect detailed images of the reliquaries.

There are over 900 churches in the city of Rome, but this one is far different from all the others. Built by Andrej Obolenskij on the grounds of the Russian embassy to the Vatican, the Church of Saint Catherine of Alexandria is the city’s first Russian Orthodox place of worship in almost a thousand years. The sanctuary is unapologetically Russian in its architecture, with a massive onionshaped dome covered in turquoiseblue porcelain.
ROME — The Vatican described a solemn ceremony on Sunday for the consecration of the first parish of the Moscow Patriarchate in Rome as a sign of further thawing of relations with the Russian Orthodox Church.
“We are happy that the Russian Orthodox community has a new church in the center of Rome. It is a sign that we are nearer to each other,” said Cardinal Walter Kasper, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, who attended the three-hour dedication of the Church of the Great Martyr Saint Catherine on the grounds of the Russian Embassy.
Expatriate parishioners joined a Russian delegation that included Svetlana Medvedev, wife of the Russian president, and Yuri M. Luzhkov, the mayor of Moscow. Overflow spectators watched the ceremony — officiated by Metropolitan Valentin of Orenburg and Buzuluk, along with other ranking patriarchate clergy — on television screens set up in a chapel underneath the main church.
“We are very excited,” said Anja Senynets, an immigrant from Ukraine. “There is nothing like celebrating in our own language, with our own habits.”
A Russian Orthodox church has existed in a palazzo near the Termini train station since the 1930s, and Roman Catholic churches regularly host Orthodox congregations. But the green-roof, gold-domed church consecrated Sunday is the first “to look like a Russian Orthodox church is supposed to look,” said Anna Rudakova, a parishioner. Painters came from Russia to work on the traditional iconostasis, a partition inside the church depicting icons and religious scenes.

The idea for an official Orthodox church in the Italian capital dates from the 19th century, but revolution and 70 years of communism intervened. A building fund was established in 2004 whose contributors included the Russian ambassador to Italy, Alexey Meshkov, and the AC Milan soccer forward Andriy Shevchenko. The church has been open for services since October 2006.
State Secularism & Lived Religion in Soviet Russia & Ukraine, Catherine Wanner
Full interview with Prof. Catherine Wanner on State Secularism and Lived Religion in Soviet Russia and Ukraine Berlin, Germany, 9 May 2017.
- First went to Ukraine in 1981 and was instantly fascinated with the Soviet Union and Ukraine in particular
- 0:56 Little was known how religion was practiced in the Soviet Union
- 3:07 Sharp repression Bolsheviks inflicted on the Orthodox Church
- 5:00 After WWII the harshest repression was against the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church which was outlawed, banned, and driven underground. The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church had over five million believers. Clergy and believers were obliged to reaffiliate with the Orthodox Church or cease practicing their faith
- 10:15 I can't say there were more fervent believers in Ukraine than elsewhere in the Soviet Union, but a wider spectrum of faith groups
- 12:31 Some people were unafraid to practice religion in the Soviet Union, e.g. Judaism
- 16:04 Soviet state very effective in sharply cutting down the number of clergy
- 16:54 Erase the visibility of religion: execution of clergy, destruction of churches. Violence against religion the USSR was counterbalanced by the rise in the standard of living
- 19:25 Baptists and Pentecostals experienced sharp repression. Had a variety of means to practice faith, ordain clergy. Clever methods to congregate and attend mass clandestinely, e.g. Sunday schools for children were masqueraded as a children's birthday parties
- 24:21 Focus on how people adapted their faith practices to carry on. The 1930s was a particularly acute time, especially harsh
- 25:44 Religious renaissance in Ukraine during the 1990s. Swift appeal to the clergy during Euromaidan, Maidan
- 29:12 Orthodoxy is structured on an ethnoterritorial model, e.g. Serbian Orthodox Church, Bulgarian Orthodox Church, Greek Orthodox Church, etc.
- 31:15 Religion in the Soviet Union was tremendously under studied
- 33:00 Russification policies combined with efforts to Sovietize the population repressed all confessional groups
- 37:22 Situation is more complex in Ukraine, unifying Orthodox Churches in Ukraine
- 41:20 Yet during Maidan in Ukraine, most clergy clearly took the side of the people against the state
- 42:50 Tremendous presence of the clergy on Maidan in Kyiv, Ukraine. Some surprised that the Berkut did not shoot priests
- 44:48 Orthodoxy is a branch of Christianity and should not be conflated with Catholicism or Protestantism. Specificities of Orthodoxy
- 48:24 Entrenched suspicion of people in authority and of institutions as being fundamentally coercive, including religious and political authorities and institutions. Yet during Maidan in Ukraine, the clergy took a clear side of the people against the state
- 49:50 Chaplains embedded into battalions in the Russian war against Ukraine in Donbas, eastern Ukraine
- 52:21 Soviet Union taught me that it is very difficult to force people to do things they don't want to do
- 53:30 Success of efforts to import anti-religious policies in Soviet bloc variable; especially difficult in Poland; Polish state obliged to make accommodations to the Catholic Church
- 54:40 Churches in East German city of Leipzig organized Monday night walks as a form of political protest (such protests began in Leipzig in September 1989
- 55:50 Troubled by lack of stimulating commentary on religion in Ukraine, former USSR. Intellectually lazy to assume that knowledge of Russia applies to other republics
- 57:50 Russian invasion of Ukraine could accelerate the creation of an independent Ukrainian Church. Enormous loss for the Russian Orthodox Church. Symposium of Global Orthodoxy in Toronto

St. Catherine Monastery
The Orthodox Monastery of St Catherine stands at the foot of Mount Horeb where, the Old Testament records, Moses received the Tablets of the Law. The mountain is known and revered by Muslims as Jebel Musa. The entire area is sacred to three world religions: Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. The Monastery, founded in the 6th century, is the oldest Christian monastery still in use for its initial function.

다시 탈린으로 돌아왔다. 오늘은 트램을 타고 시 외곽 나가보려고 한다. 사람들은 우리나라처럼 카드를 찍으며 트램에 올라탔다. 카드가 없는 나는 2유로를 지불해야 했다. 모두들 녹색카드를 가지고 있었는데 뭔지 물어봤다. “탈린 시민들에게는 (대중교통이) 무료입니다” 알고 보니 탈린 시민들에겐 대중교통이 전부 무료라고 한다. 목적지까지 가는 동안 돈을 지불한 승객은 나 하나였다. 구시가지에서 트램을 타고 10분정도가면 카드리오그 궁전이 나온다. 상트 페테르부르크를 건설한 러시아의 표트르 대제는 1718년 부인 예카테리나를 위해 아름다운 바로크식 여름 별장을 지었다. 이 사람이 바로 표트르 대제다. 안으로 들어가자 관람을 하고 있는 아이들이 있었다. 어딜 가나 아이들은 순수하고 귀엽다. 표트르 대제와 예카테리나가 사용했던 화려한 방이다. 한쪽 벽면에는 예카테리나를 상징하는 글자와 다른 쪽에는 표트르 대제를 상징하는 글자가 마주보고 있다. 제정 러시아를 상징하는 머리가 셋 달린 독수리를 가운데 두고 이 화려한 방의 양쪽 면은 거울처럼 똑같은 모양이다. 아이들 수준에 맞춰 설명하는 선생님 이야기가 재미있다. 아이들은 본격적으로 천장의 그림을 보기위해 바닥에 눕기 시작했다. 나도 이참에 슬쩍 끼어보기로 했다. 천장에는 그리스 신화가 그려져 있는데 사슴으로 변한 사냥꾼은 스웨덴의 국왕 카를 12세를 상징하고, 목욕을 하는 다아나는 그와 전쟁을 했던 표트르 대제 자신을 상징한다. “아이들이랑 함께 하는 일을 좋아합니다. 공원을 산책할 수도 있고 동시에 박물관을 구경할 수도 있는 곳입니다”

I came back to Tallinn. Today I am going to take a tram and go outside the city. People rode on the tram, taking cards like ours. Without the card I had to pay 2 euros. Everyone had a green card and asked what it was. To the citizens of Tallinn (public transport) is free As far as I know, public transportation is all free to the citizens of Tallinn. I was one of the passengers who paid for the money while I was on my way to the destination. A 10 minute tram ride from the old town leads to the Cardio Palace. Russia's Peter the Great, who built St. Petersburg, built a beautiful baroque summer house for his wife, Catherine, in 1718. This person is Peter the Great. As I walked in, there were children watching. Wherever children go, they are pure and cute. It is a gorgeous room used by Peter the Great and Ekaterina. On one wall there is a letter symbolizing Catherine, and on the other side is a letter symbolizing Pyotr. Both sides of this gorgeous room have the same shape as a mirror, centered on an eagle with three heads, symbolizing Russia. The story of the teacher explaining to the level of the child is interesting. The children began to lie on the floor to see the ceiling painting in earnest. I decided to jump in on this. On the ceiling, a Greek myth is depicted, a hunter who turns into a deer symbolizes the Swedish King Carl II, and Daana, who takes a bath, symbolizes himself to Peter the Great, who had fought with him. I like working with kids. You can take a walk around the park and see the museum at the same time.

Tulin tagasi Tallinnasse. Täna lähen maha trammi ja mine linnast väljas. Inimesed sõidud trammis, võttes kaarte nagu meie. Ilma kaardita pidi ma maksma 2 eurot. Igaühel oli roheline kaart ja küsiti, mis see oli. Tallinna kodanikele (ühistransport) on tasuta Minu arvates on ühistransport Tallinna kodanikele tasuta. Ma olin üks reisijaid, kes maksid selle raha eest, kui olin teel sihtkohta. 10-minutilise trammisõidu kaugusel vanalinnast viib Cardio Palace. Venemaa Peter Peetrus, kes ehitas Peterburi, ehitas 1718. aastal oma naisele Catherine'ile ilusa barokksti suvila. See inimene on Peetrus. Nagu ma sisse astusin, nägi lapsi. Kui lapsed lähevad, on nad puhtad ja armas. See on suurepärane tuba, mida kasutavad Peeter Suur ja Ekaterina. Üks seina teisele poole, märgid ja sümboliseerib Catherine seisab kirjas sümboliseerib Peeter. Mõlemad küljed sellel gorgeous toal on sama kujuga kui peegel, mis keskendub kolme peaga kotle, mis sümboliseerib Venemaad. Õpetaja lugu, milles selgitatakse lapse taset, on huvitav. Lapsed hakkasid lamama põrandal, et näha laia värvimist tõsiselt. Otsustasin selle peale hüpata. Kreeka mütoloogias on lagi värvitud jahimehed muutunud hirve sümboliseerib Rootsi kuningas Karl 12 aastat, ja ma Daah vanni sümboliseerib Peeter ise oli temaga sõdinud. Mulle meeldib lastega töötamine. Võite jalutada läbi pargi ja samal ajal koht, mis võib Museokierroksellasi
