The Mount of God


Mount Sinai. Where Moses received the 10 commandments from God.

One of the most reverent spots in the world.

And here, is the most famous religious sculpture in the world.


Pieta.

Carved by Michelangelo when he was just 24. The Virgin, holding the body of Christ, after he came off the cross, before his resurrection. The portrayal of Godly suffering.

It's home, is in of the most reverent spots in the world; Saint Peter's Basilica.

What's that have to do with Mount Sinai?

Look closely.

The Rock of God.

In the Mount of God.
