About
Saint Catherine's Monastery – The Holy Monastery of the God-trodden Mount Sinai
Located at the base of Mount Sinai, Saint Catherine's Monastery holds a profound significance in the heritage of Christianity. Dating back to the 6th century, it endures as a sacred treasure house of Christian history. Within its ancient walls are kept collections of priceless icons and manuscripts—second only to the Vatican archives in size—that serve as a witness to the historic Christian faith, tangible links from the past to the present.
Legacy Icons
Founded in 2011 by portrait photographer David DeJonge, Legacy Icons aims to preserve the integrity and history of Christian iconography. Inspired by the first-millennium history of the Christian faith, we strive to bring its historic treasures and truths to people today. Using attention to detail and our exclusive processes developed over the last 30 years, we meticulously reproduce these icons using the highest-grade museum-quality papers and the latest giclée printing technology. Our icons are guaranteed to retain their beauty and longevity for generations.
Friends of Mount Sinai Monastery
Inspired by the world's oldest continuously-functioning monastery, the Friends of Mount Sinai Monastery is a charity founded to support the work of Saint Catherine's Monastery. The Monastery does not solicit donations, so in the face of the prolonged challenges they face, the Monastery's friends have undertaken this holy work.
Working Together
Inspired by the iconography of Saint Catherine's Monastery, Legacy Icons has financially supported the Friends of Mount Sinai for years. Desiring to do more, and to offer the very highest quality reproductions ever made, we have formed an exclusive relationship to offer these treasures in replica sizes to the benefit of the Monastery. Forty percent of the proceeds from every icon sold on sinai.legacyicons.com goes back to the Monastery to support their holy work.
