According to the story on Mount Sinai, God gave the tablets of commandments to Moses. At the foot of the mountain there is a monastery of St. Catherine (in theory, the first Orthodox monasteries were organized in Egypt), where you can buy a ring blessed from the relics of the saint. They started climbing the mountain late in the evening, everyone was given lanterns. The ascent goes like a serpentine, at night it is simply a bewitching sight when you see how the whole mountain is covered by shining paths from the light of lanterns for each person. Everyone rises at night to meet the dawn on the mountain. It is difficult to climb, although we go with stops and not quickly. the higher, the harder it is to breathe, but believe me, it's worth it. The sunrise on the mountain is just beautiful.
