Saint Catherine was a Christian martyr and virgin who died in the 4th century at the hands of the Roman emperor Maxentius. In the featured icon, she is displayed standing on a rocky promontory and holding a scroll with the peculiar inscription saying “O Lord, hear me, grant him who remembers the name of Catherine forgiveness of sins.” This beautiful icon was created by an anonymous Russian icon painter back in the 19th century.

#CUJGOSPLASH5 2017 was lit 🔥. Some had reservations about the event but the @actionmarkland entertainment pulled off a successful staging. A refreshingly small lineup of powerhouse artistes, delivered set after set, despite the limitations that may be experienced with a 'tracked event'. Of course, the main highlight of the evening was @bowtyetrib who brought high energy & ministry, backed up by a mass choir whose members were randomly selected on spot from among the crowd. 📸 📸 📸 #TekMePikCha #GospelArtiste #gospelmusic #christian #jamaica #concert #sugarman #TyeTribbett #gosplash #Portmore #stcatherine #beach #entertainment #reggae #reggaemusic #dancehall #Jesus #praiseandworship #sponsors #SugarmanBeach (at Sugar Man Beach)

WITHOUT A BEDOUIN GUIDE, THE Sinai is a vast, unnavigable expanse of desert. Rocky hills rise and fall underneath the blinding sun. And yet for thousands of years, this desolate peninsula was traversed and played host to many of the most important religious events in history. Many of these seminal events are neatly encapsulated within the walls of St. Catherine’s Monastery. Situated below Mount Sinai, St. Catherine’s Monastery was originally built by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian in the early 6th century. It is considered the oldest monastery in the world, although this claim is disputed. Much of the landscape around St. Catherine’s is similarly disputed, along with the claim that the peak above the monastery is actually the biblical Mount Sinai. Within the gates of the monastery, the unknown only grows. When Justinian declared a monastery be built on the land, a chapel dedicated to the burning bush was already in place. Once again, disputed claims placed the burning bush that appeared to Moses near the present-day monastery. To this day, a bush inside the compound is considered by some to be the original from biblical texts. Besides the chapel, the monastic compound also holds an ancient charnel for monks. Although monks are typically thought of as the most pious men who have dedicated their lives to God, the monks of St. Catherine often broke that mold, and were sent to the Sinai as punishment. As they died off, the pious next to the profane in the midst of the desert’s sparse resources, the monks discovered the ground was unsuitable for proper burials. Their only answer was to create a house of skulls, piling the bones of the religious men in a charnel below the monastery. Differing from many ossuaries and charnels, St. Catherine’s was based more on functionality than decoration, and the massive pile of remains speaks to that gruesome end. St. Catherine’s Monastery is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. #iregipto #egyptpassion #discoveregypt #thisisegypt #egypt #MBPlanet #egypt #stcatherine #monastery #skull (at سانت كاترين - St.Catherine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIxSqrQnSH-/?igshid=9bfr90jaloda

The right of nature... is the liberty each man hath to use his own power, as he will himself, for the preservation of his own nature; that is to say, of his own life.
