Explore Slovene Museum of Christianity

The book presents a unique collection of colour glass slides from the first half of the 20th century, held by the Ljubljana Archdiocesan Archives, complemented by an album of black-and-white photographs from the collection of the Mission Centre of Slovenia.

It takes readers back to the age of exploratory travel, when three Slovenian biblical scholars – Prof. Dr Anton Jehart, Prof. Dr Matija Slavič and Prof. Dr Andrej Snoj – travelled by camel and car between 1925 and 1935, exploring the remarkable spiritual, cultural and historical heritage of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. The selected photographs focus mainly on places associated with the account in the Book of Exodus, as well as scenes from everyday life at St Catherine’s Monastery on Mount Sinai.
