This church is the traditional site where Jesus appeared to St.
Catherine and informed her that she will be martyred. Her body is buried on
Mt. Sinai. A beautiful church built upon the foundations of a Crusader
church. The front facade has a statute of St. Catherine.
St. Catherine Church is beside the Church of the Nativity and is accessible
by a doorway.
A small staircase at the side of this church leads back to the grottos underneath the Church of the Nativity Church and to St. Jerome's cave.
