Could someone translate the information from the German article on the subject and import into this one? Thanks -- Etz Haim 22:17, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

"...the burning bush, which is alive and on the grounds..." Preposterous! But this is an example of Wikipedia "NPOV" isn't it? --Wetman 02:52, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

It is what is claimed by the monks there. I adjusted it to read "...which is purportedly alive and on the grounds." --Preost 12:12, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)

§2 tails off in the middle of a sentence. or at the start at least. anyone know what's meant to go after "Ships", or can it be removed? (i also fixed a couple of typos i spotted) -- 62.252.64.15 6 July 2005 00:21 (UTC)

[edit] Still a stub?

At this point, the article seems long enough that it need not be labeled as a stub. But typically, how long is an article that is not a stub? --138.129.200.145 00:14, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC) (That was my comment; forgot to log in. --Benfergy 00:17, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Not the original bush?

Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_bush refers to "St Katherine's Monastery" having a claimed living * descendant * of Moses' original bush. It appears that some cleaning up should be done.

If a lot of these bushes grow around there then it doesn't seem that Moses' discovery was so special, although I suppose that God talking through it makes it an event. If you set the bush on fire, does it become a telephone?

You wouldn't want to keep it at home, would you?

[edit] Egeria

The oddly circumstantial account of the finding of the manuscript of Egeria, not directly relevant here, suggests to me that the actual connection here has been that Egeria visited and described St. Catherine's: it is missing. Vandalism? The two dates noted, 1884 and c. 500 are neither of them relevant to Egeria's visit. Part of the interest of St. Catherine's for the average reader lies in the discoveries made in the library, of which the article seems unaware. Anyone interested in raising the level of this article? --Wetman 03:03, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
