The Holy Family in Egypt

The Holy Family's journey to Egypt is recounted in the Gospel of Matthew. According to Matthew, an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream, warning him of Herod's plan to kill all the male children in Bethlehem. Joseph immediately took Mary and Jesus and fled to Egypt.

The Holy Family traveled through the desert for many days, eventually reaching the city of Heliopolis. Here, they found refuge in the home of a friendly innkeeper. They stayed in Heliopolis for several months, until Herod's death. After Herod's death, the Holy Family returned to Nazareth.

The Coptic Church

The Coptic Church is one of the oldest Christian churches in the world. It was founded in the 1st century AD by Saint Mark the Evangelist. The Coptic Church is an Oriental Orthodox church, meaning that it is not in communion with the Eastern Orthodox Church or the Roman Catholic Church.

The Coptic Church has a rich and unique tradition. It uses the Coptic language in its liturgy, and it has its own unique set of beliefs and practices. The Coptic Church is also known for its beautiful art and architecture.
