Latest revision as of 11:19, September 28, 2005

St. Catherine's and St. Anthony's (external links on this page) monasteries are among the oldest monasteries in the world. This article says of St. Catherine's: "It has been called the oldest working Christian monastery, though St. Anthony's predates it, and the smallest diocese in the world." I think it's true enough to count them each "one of the oldest Christian monasteries." Once the St. Anthony's Monastery page is started, discussion should be held there. [[User:Magda|—magda (talk)]] 19:04, 26 Aug 2005 (EDT)

St Anthony's, near the coast of the Red Sea, is the oldest Christian monastery in the world

And this BBC page: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/egyptians/top_ten_gallery_02.shtml

I agree with you; each of these old monasteries deserves its own entry/encyclopedia page. Thanks+
