Egypt 3 - Coptic Cairo

[debris4spike]

Day 2 started with a trip to Coptic Cairo ... we went to 3 Churches, as well as a Synagogue (where photographs weren't allowed)

This is The Hanging Church ... it's built on top of another building -


















Relics of St George


I also went to St George's Church -















The final Church we went to was Cavern Church of Sergius & Bacchus ... 3rd Century. This was a very special visit as it is the location where Jesus, Mary & Joseph lived for 3 months after they escaped Herod to stay in Egypt -






Baptistry



Sergius & Bacchus



The Cavern of the Holy Family











The well of the Holy Family


We also went to the Coptic Museum (but I probably wont post photos)
