Voir le lever de soleil depuis le sommet du mont Sinaï (où Moïse aurait reçu les tables de la loi), puis redescendre et passer devant le monastère de Sainte-Catherine, le plus ancien monastère chrétien continuellement habité au monde (depuis le VIe siècle).

See the sunrise from the summit of Mount Sinai (where Moses would have received the tables of the law), then go down and walk in front of the monastery of Sainte-Catherine, the oldest Christian monastery continuously inhabited in the world (since the 6th century).

When I look at this photo taken in in a Tibetan monastery, I always wonder what he is actually waiting for.

@realTuckFrumper well, telling from the robe, he's an apprentice, an acolythe or an amateur-nun. They come with their own long-sleeve shirts and throw over the black tunic an the headscarf during the service or the retreat. Some times also a white apron.

The penguin left to him wears the scapula and a well fitting scarf.

At the St. Nikolaus #monastry there is also a #Lourdes - Grotto. 100 years ago the Lourdes Grotto was built as a sign of gratitude. Soldiers who took up quarters in the monastery, with the help of the Fathers, built the rock cave out of great gratitude that they were still alive. At that time, the statue of the Virgin Mary came from Mönchengladbach. In 2013, on the occasion of the centenary, it was replaced by a new statue from Lourdes.
Now, in times of the pandemic, services are held on the lawn. Hopefully it won't rain around Easter ;-)
