This year, we left the monastery at 4:00 AM for the climb to the Chapel of Saint Anne, the most beautiful of all the chapels up in the mountains. Father Theophilos came to chant. Two pilgrims from Romania also joined us. We went up the ancient steps.
The sky had turned light by the time we passed the second arch.
We stopped at one plateau to watch the sunrise.
The chapel prepared for the celebration of the Divine Liturgy. In these chapels we encounter the ancient Sinai.
The small garden just below the chapel provided us with three ripe apples and a plate of figs.
Thanks a lot Father Justin for sharing this heavenly atmosphere with us ..
Such a beautiful photograph!
I love when you share about St. Anne’s.
