Where Moses received the Ten Commandments
The Orthodox Saint Catherine Monastery is located at the foot of Mount Horeb where Moses, according to the Old Testament, received the Tablets of the Law (with the Ten Commandments). The mountain is known to Muslims and revered as Jebel Musa. The monastery was founded in the 6th century and is one of the oldest Christian monasteries still in use for its original function.
Digitized paper photo, taken in the late 1980’s, hence the poor quality. I wanted to post the photo anyway because this place is very special and even mythical (and has a picturesque location).
