Shocking News as Egypt closes world's OLDEST continuously functioning Christian monastery

 Egypt closes world's OLDEST continuously functioning Christian monastery founded 15 centuries ago: 'Unprecedented and unacceptable!'

Saint Catherine's Monastery on Mount Sina was a central point of discussion between Greek and Egyptian delegations. 

Egypt has ordered the closure of the world's oldest continuously functioning Christian monastery, much to the fury of Christian groups.

The Egyptian government has decided to shut down Saint Catherine's Monastery on Mount Sina and expel the 20 Greek Orthodox monks serving there.

The monastery was founded by Byzantine Emperor Justinian 15 centuries ago and has been described as "the world's oldest Orthodox Christian monument".

Despite surviving numerous historical upheavals throughout its existence, the sacred site now faces what Orthodox Archbishop Ieronymos II called "a period of great trial—one that evokes memories of darker times in history".
