Jesus is risen indeed he is risen...this is the English version of Christos Anesty which in fact language-wise is Anesthy not Anesty because as we see in the Greek writing we say ανεσθή not ανεστή and the phonetics of the letter θ=th not just t! Well this is not a language article nor Grammar session it's just a passing by thought as I wanted to wish all of EGYPT Happy Easter!
Several weeks ago and in more than a single article I warned about Sinai as I saw Palestinian / Hamas infiltrations to this most praised part of Egypt and saw no re-action from the MB authorities!
Later on I mentioned about another dark activity I learned about it from a CNN documentary about illegal travellers coming from Sudan, Somali, Nigeria or other mid African countries under the pressure of poverty seeking a way out to Israel for jobs. Those illegal travellers travel from their countries without documents passports and any other identification documents and no official records of their path to Sinai heading to Israel territories hopping to find a job, but they just disappear in Sinai no way to find out they ever entered Sinai or that they did disappear there as a dark illegal market developed there with human parts for sell, kidneys, hearts, or what so ever needed for medical transplants in the black market!
Once again I re-iterate this was a CNN documentary and we never heard any comments from any Egyptian authority not even denying it like it was a rumour or a big lie no need to comment on it just complete ignorance like if it does not exists!
In all those articles I admit I worried about Sinai and it's future under Muslim Brotherhood ruling of Egypt, I forgot though I know that Egypt is Blessed by God, and I forgot the importance of Sinai in the Bible one a very few places mentioned in the Bible and holly events took place in it!
Do you remember the 10 commandments given to Moses from GOD where was that? Correct in Sinai Mountain that later on in memory of that event a holly church and monastery was built known by the Name of Aghia Katherine or St. Catherine!
Wikidedia says :-
The Greek Orthodox monastery of the God-trodden Mount Sinai is located at the very place where God appeared to Moses in the Burning Bush, beneath the Mount of the Decalogue. In the providence of God, it is at this site also that the holy relics of Saint Catherine are enshrined. This is the oldest continuously inhabited Christian monastery, with a history that can be traced back over seventeen centuries. The monastery predates the divisions of the Christian world, its origins extending to late antiquity. -From Weekypedia-

We note here that Catherine = Katherine depending on the origin of the Church -Greek Orthodox- means the name Katherine is originally a Greek name and in the Greek alphabet there is only K no C and the only spelling options in Greek language is Katherine however the English version on this name introduced the latter C and altered the name to Catherine!
Beside the 10 commandments that took place in Sinai there is another important event took place there upon the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt running away from the Pharaohs of Egypt massacre to the Jews nation in Egypt as per God's instructions Mosses took his people from Egypt running away from the barbaric Pharaoh that chased them in Sinai and the miracle of splitting the Red Sea took place and God saved his people!
Such a place -SINAI- being part of the Blessed country Egypt should be blessed specially that it was mentioned in the bible and lots of events took place there, the monastery that revived the memory of the 10 commandments stood there over the years survived lot of events like occupations of Egypt by different enemies including Israel then HAMAS now days!
In this holly occasion the Big Feast of Jesus Resurrection from the deaths I thought of reviving this little part of history on a holly place Sinai part of a blessed country Egypt may God bless you all and Happy Easter to each and every Egyptian and the WHOLE OF EGYPT!
