Father Poulos Halim, spokesman for the Coptic Orthodox Church, said that Pope Tawadros II, Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of Saint Mark See, received the remains of saints Dionysus and Ambrose from the Patriarch of Venice, Cardinal Angelo Scola. 

According to a statement issued by the Coptic Orthodox Church, this important event was attended by Bishop Cyril, Bishop of Milan and Father Bishoy Michel.
