The journey to St. Catherine's in Mt. Sinai was arduous and soul-searching. Father John, a residing monk, states, "It is not just a monastery, but one of the great cultural and historical centers of the world. " Ancient manuscripts on medicine, mathematics, astronomy, philosophy in Greek, Aramaic, Hebrew, Arabic- the knowledge of the ancient world, line the walls of the library. Fascinating.
