The Holy Monastery of Sinai is pleased to offer its devout visitors a sufficiently informative guide for better knowledge and understanding of the sacred pilgrimage of Mount Sinai.

In this luxurious edition, it is not so much the text that speaks, but the photographs of the sacred landscapes, the ancient buildings, and especially the numerous holy icons and other relics of the Monastery.

If the browsing and reading of this volume, beyond the artistic pleasure for the eyes, brings spiritual delight and a God-given peace to the weary traveler of modern tumultuous life, we believe that the primary purpose of this edition has been fulfilled, and thus our gratitude towards our patroness, Saint Catherine, and to our Lord Jesus Christ will be even deeper and eternal.
