Ascent to the Summit of Sinai

Early pilgrims were required to ascend the 3,000 steps to the summit, sometimes on their knees, before being absolved of their sins. (Helen Guiterman). "Today, we ascended the Summit of Sinai which took us two hours.  Near the top are two small chapels, where Elijah was fed by the ravens and the other is dedicated to Elias, and on the summit are two others; one where Moses received the tables of the law and the other belongs to the Mohamedans." (Roberts Journal)
