Associated Press highlighted the visit of president al-Sisi on Christmas eve to the Cathedral to congratulate the Copts on Christmas.
It explained that this is the second visit of the President, and the first of any Egyptian President in history at similar celebration.
It's worth mentioning that the president acknowledged the terrorist attacks against churches after the revolution of June 30. He apologized for being late at fixing the demolished churches, but he promised to fix them in 2016.
