    San Sergio's or Cave Church

    April 11, 2021 in Egypt ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    Much is made here of the flight of the Holy Family from Herod's Slaughter of the Innocents. This church is on the site of a cave where the Holy Family is reported to have sheltered.
    The 1st picture is a small chapel in the very cave. At the bottom you can see a bit of the original cave. The 2nd is self explanatory. 3rd is an example of coptic/arabic translation. This church dates to before the switch to arabic and so has a collection of works from that period.
    4th is inside the church.
    Last is a map showing the journey of the Holy Family in Egypt. I'm told there are records from the time identifying where they stayed.
