I wonder what exactly they said about the Sinai Monastery. This is our common holy place; many pilgrims from Yaroslavl went there. I would like to know in more detail what is happening there now.

I wonder what exactly they said about the Sinai Monastery. Halyna is right, this is a common holy place, our pilgrims from Kharkiv went there even before all the events. It would be good if you told us in more detail what is happening with the monastery there now.

The article mentions the Sinai Monastery but doesn't say what exactly was discussed about it. Like Galina and Yulia, I'd be curious to know if there's any update on the monks' situation or if the Egyptians are still protecting the place the way they have for centuries. My own priest visited there years ago and always said the hospitality was unforgettable.
