A monastery located at the northern foot of Mount Musa (the Biblical Mount Sinai) in the southern Sinai Peninsula. It was founded in 527 by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I. Its name comes from Saint Catherine, who was martyred in Alexandria in the early 4th century. According to later legend, her body was carried to Mount Sinai by an angel. The monastery belongs to the Eastern Orthodox Church, but is independent in terms of jurisdiction from both the Patriarchate of Alexandria and the Patriarchate of Jerusalem. Since 1575, it has been part of the Sinai Church, with the abbot as its head (archbishop). Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
シナイ半島南部ムーサー山(聖書のシナイ山)の北の山麓にある修道院。527年にビザンティン皇帝ユスティニアヌス1世によって建立された。名称は,4世紀初頭にアレクサンドリアで殉教したという聖女カタリナに由来する。後代の伝説によればカタリナの遺体は天使によってシナイ山に運ばれたという。この修道院は東方正教会に属すが,管轄の点ではアレクサンドリア総主教からもエルサレム総主教からも独立しており,1575年以来,修道院長を首長(大主教)とするシナイ教会を形成している。
