Christ, Our Most-Pure Mother of God and Saint Catherine the Great Martyr guiding us in our monastic journey.
St Catherine of Sinai Monastery is an English-speaking monastery under ROCOR
Our Protectress, The Most-Pure Mother of God:
Who inspires and directs us by Her examples of:
Unsurpassed Humility, Purity, Compassion, Modesty, Obedience & more; all with true Love- to Her Son, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
It is truly meet & right to bless Thee, O Theotokos, ever-blessed and Most Pure, and the Mother of our God. More honorable than the Cherubim, beyond compare and more glorious than the Seraphim, Thee who without corruption gave birth to God the Word. The Very Theotokos, Thee do we magnify!
Let us turn to the Mother of God; and under Her protection, have the ability to serve.
Let us imitate the first Christians who, after the Ascension of Jesus Christ, sought comfort from His Most Pure Mother.
"These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and with His brethren" Acts 1:14

Our Patroness, The Holy Great Martyr Catherine
Who leads us by her virtuous examples of:
Courage, Wisdom, Steadfastness and Dedication to her Bridegroom Christ, even unto death.
Let us hymn the godly Catherine, the all-praised Bride of Christ, / the guardian of Sinai, our helper and defender, / for brilliantly has she silenced the boasting of the impious with the sword of the Spirit, / and now crowned as a Martyr, she entreats great mercy for all. (Podoben: “Come, let us worship the Word... Troparion- Tone 5)
