Deep in the Red Sea Mountains, in a hidden oasis, lies one of our most sacred places - the Monastery of Saint Anthony. Built by Anthony's followers in the 4th century, this Christian monastery is one of the oldest in the world. Saint Anthony, foremost of the Desert Fathers, is known as The Father of Monks. He ventured into the desert where he spent many years as a hermit, his life dedicated to God. During the Great Persecution, he went back to civilization to comfort the imprisoned, risking his life for his fellow Christians. At the end of his life, he settled by the oasis where the great monastery stands today. Thousands of pilgrims follow in Anthony's footsteps each year, and now that As-Suways is under our protection, we can ensure that they reach their destination safely.
