'''St. Catherine's Monastery''' is a [[monastery]] on the Sinai peninsula, at the foot of Mount Sinai, in Egypt. It was built at the site where [[Moses]] is believed to have seen the [[Burning Bush]], which is alive and on the grounds. Though it is commonly known as ''Saint Catherine's'', the actual name of the monastery is the '''''Monastery of the Transfiguration'''''. It is sometimes also known as the '''''Monastery of the Burning Bush'''''. It is one of the oldest Christian monastery monasteries in the world.
