Saint Catherine's Monastery
The charnel house at Saint Catherine's Monastery, or Santa Katarina, a Greek Orthodox monastery on the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, 1967. When monks die they are buried for a few years then dug up and their bones put in the charnel house. The area is considered too rocky for a permanent grave.
