Burning Bush St. Catherine Monastery


Burning Bush St. Catherine Monastery
 

  • Location:

The Burning Bush is located at Saint Catherine's Monastery in the Sinai Peninsula, and close to Moses Mountain which in monastic tradition, is identified as being the original Burning Bush. Christian hermits originally gathered at Mount Serbal, believing it to be the biblical Mount Sinai
 

  • History:

It is said to be the place where God spoke to Moses saying “Come now, therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt” (Exodus 3:10). Sceptics may be swayed by the fact that it’s the only bush of its kind in the entire peninsula and that all attempts to grow cutting from it elsewhere have failed. The bush was moved to its present site when Helena’s chapel was built over its roots, behind the apse of St Catherine’s church. It is still one of the major attractions in the Sinai region for Christian Pilgrimage tours.
