ABurn's conversations
The Sacred Bramble
The Chapel of the Holy Bush is the most ancient shrine in the monastery, and it was around this site that the first community of Sinai anchorites gathered. The chapel, and the bush growing opposite, were mentioned by Egeria, who came to Sinai at the end of the fourth century. The site of the original chapel now stands at the eastern end of the great basilica. Pilgrims enter this most holy place without shoes, in keeping with Godʼs command to Moses. According to the Fathers of the Church, the bush that burned without being consumed by the flames was a type and prefiguration of the All-holy Theotokos, who bore within her the fire of the Godhead without being consumed. The feast of the Annunciation is celebrated here, and the first hymn of vespers on that feast makes a specific reference to the Burning Bush. Members of the community are tonsured here as well. The Divine Liturgy is celebrated in the Chapel of the Burning Bush on Saturdays.
