Talk:Anthony the Great

Revision as of 23:11, August 26, 2005 by Arbible (talk | contribs) (St Anthony's, near the coast of the Red Sea, is the oldest Christian monastery in the world)

St. Catherine's and St. Anthony's (external links on this page) monasteries are among the oldest monasteries in the world. This article says of St. Catherine's: "It has been called the oldest working Christian monastery, though St. Anthony's predates it, and the smallest diocese in the world." I think it's true enough to count them each "one of the oldest Christian monasteries." Once the St. Anthony's Monastery page is started, discussion should be held there.

St Anthony's, near the coast of the Red Sea, is the oldest Christian monastery in the world

And this BBC page: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/egyptians/top_ten_gallery_02.shtml

I agree with you; each of these old monasteries deserves its own entry/encyclopedia page. Thanks+
