It is also referred to as "St. Helen's Chapel." The site is sacred to Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Commonly known as Saint Catherine's, the full official name of the monastery is The Sacred and Imperial Monastery of the God-Trodden Mount of Sinai, and the patronal feast of the monastery is the Transfiguration. The site was associated with St. Catherine of Alexandria (whose relics were purported to have been miraculously transported there by angels) and it became a favorite site of pilgrimage.
