So impressed with what I saw. The holy sites, the holy symbols of the Coptic Church and early Christians. Egypt sure do have a great history the religion and colonialism destroyed. There the real tree trunks that held the hanging Church in place. Offer prayers for the less privileged there too. The ornaments of hermits and saints. Controlled environment, secured and valued. Traffic is light. You just have to go and see the history or the early church in Egypt ( in Africa). The museum has a lot of history about early Christian symbols and artifacts. First written scriptures in Coptic and Arabic. Early golden coins, holy vessels and antiques. Early Christians fabrics and writings on stones, bones, fabrics and woods.

Free to go inside. This is a beautiful church - I would definitely recommend hiring any of the tour guides who hang around outside for them to give you a complete tour. They will be able to point out many of the details that you wouldn’t be able to notice on your own.

Very historical... The foundation where from the Babylonian era and glass floor panels allow you to see beneath the church floor. Fantastic wooden window and door framework. Lovely stair case. Worth a visit if your in the area.

Peaceful and quiet place to connect with the Lord. Highly guarded area. Sells lovely hand made pieces and gospel books.

Great significance! Not exactly a must visit, but if you are already in Coptic Cairo, you may as well take a look inside. Great photos of the Virgin Mary and Jesus and other prominent people related to the Christian faith
