Egypt Reopens Storied Saint Catherine Library
Egypt reopened the ancient St. Catherine Monastery library in South Sinai after three years of restoration. The site holds about 3,300 manuscripts in multiple languages, dating to the 4th century, with palimpsests likely reused between the 8th and 12th centuries. Archbishops and American monks attended the ceremony as scholars begin public access amid ongoing work.
