Abu Serga, Cairo

The Holy Family's refuge in Egypt · Egypt

To escape King Herod, Joseph fled by night with Mary and the child Jesus to Egypt, the land where Israel had once been enslaved. Coptic Christians remember a long route of places where the Holy Family is said to have rested on their journey. This church in Old Cairo, dedicated to the soldier saints Sergius and Bacchus, is one of the most important. Today you can go down into its crypt, where Copts believe the family stayed.
