Father Baceleos of St. Paul monastery, agent of the monastery, said that the Egyptian family comes together in their feasts, when they exchange presents and greetings.
He added that terrorists target Christians in their feasts in order to ruin these occasions; however, Copts didn’t seek revenge or support of the West as they extremely love their homeland.
This came during the visit of Sharif Habib, governor of Beni Suef, and senior leaders of the province to the monastery of St. Paul to congratulate the monks on Christmas.
