Father Abraam Emil, deputy of Alexandria diocese for the Coptic Orthodox Church, said that most of the churches in Alexandria celebrated the feast of the Apostles without congregation after it was very hard to choose 25 people of each church.
It is noteworthy that the permanent committee of the Holy Synod allowed the Orthodox Churches to hold the Mass of the Apostles - on an exceptional basis - and in the presence of only 25 people per Mass with the application of the precautionary measures required before and during the attendance of the Mass.
