Sohag, Egypt
Red Monastery
The Red Monastery or The Monastery of Apa Pshay is a Coptic Orthodox monastery named after an Egyptian saint named Pshay or Pishay, not to be confused with Pishoy, Bishop of Sketis. It is located near the Upper Egyptian city of Souhag, and about two and a half miles north-west of the White Monastery. The monastery's name is derived from the colour of the construction material of its outside walls, consisting of red brick.
