Documentary: Conservation of the Mosaic of the Transfiguration in the Monastery of St. Catherine at Mt. Sinai

This religious icon/mosaic, commissioned by the Emperor Justinian in the 6th Century, is one of the few remaining examples of pre-Iconoclast Byzantine art still in existence. I find it breathtaking, even before the restoration. The restoration work documented here makes me happy and proud to be a human.
