| | Mount Sinai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Mount Sinai is the name of the mountain where, according to the Bible, God gave the Ten Commandments to Moses. | | | In the Bible, Mt. Sinai is also called Mt. Horeb and the Mount of God. | | | This is unsurprising since it is one of the holiest places in their religion, most famous for being the place where Moses was said in the Bible to have received the Ten Commandments from God. |

| | JS Online: Pope fulfills dream at foot of Mount Sinai |
| | The pope, who spoke at St. Catherine's, the monastery at the foothills of Mount Sinai that is one of the most revered in the Greek Orthodox Church, had once hoped to gather Christian, Muslim and Jewish leaders there to symbolize reconciliation in the new millennium. | | | Mount Sinai, Egypt - Saying he felt "great joy and deep emotion," Pope John Paul II prayed Saturday at the mountain where the Ten Commandments are believed to have come down to Moses and called himself a pilgrim "in the footsteps of God." | | | Describing the wind from Mount Sinai as a sign from God, the pope said, "It carries an insistent invitation to dialogue between the followers of the great monotheistic religions." |

| | Moses, the traditional founder of Judaism, was born in Egypt, the son of a Hebrew slave. | | | Sinai, also called Mt. Horeb and Jebel Musa (the 'Mountain of Moses') is the center of a greatly venerated pilgrimage destination that includes the Monastery of St. Catherine and the Burning Bush, Elijah's Plateau, and Plain of ar-Raaha. | | | Born as Dorothea of Alexandria in 294 AD, she was later tortured and beheaded by the Roman emperor Maximus for incessantly criticizing him for his worship of pagan idols (which was merely an age-old veneration of earth-spirit deities). |

| | Mount Sinai Featured on PAX Television |
| | It is ironic that what some investigators lead to be the true Mt. Sinai, a place where the law was given for the preservation of Israel could potentially be used for the destruction of Israel. | | | But nobody seems to know exactly where Mount Sinai is. Is there a real mountain that holds the secrets of God's interaction with man? Were the tablets of the Ten Commandments literally carved by the finger of God into stone from this mountain? | | | No one knows where they might have first set foot in Sinai, and the location of the mystical Mt. Sinai itself is the subject of relentless argument. |
