Title:

Bishops Celebrate Coptic Christmas

Description:

Bishops celebrate Coptic Christmas on January 7th at the Cathedral of Saint Mark at Anba Ruweis in Abbasiyya. The history of the Coptic Church in Egypt is basically the history of Christianity in Egypt, for the current Coptic Church is a direct evolution from those earlier times. However, it traditionally begins with the visit of the Holy Family to Egypt.
