Pilgrimage in Coptic Egypt

When the Holy Family left Palestine and came to Egypt during their flight from Herodes, they stayed in Egypt for four years. Churches and monasteries have been built in places where they found refuge; some of these are in the part of Cairo called Coptic or Old Cairo. The old churches in the area mirror in a vivid way the early manifestations of Coptic Christian belief in art and worship
