🚣‍♂️ Maadi - an ancient capital with a Christian history

There is a beautiful area in Cairo called Maadi. Now it is built up with houses from which an incredible view of the Nile opens, but it is not known for this. Most likely you have not even heard of it, so we will tell you some facts about Maadi:

ℹThe Maadi region is located on the territory of the ancient capital of Egypt - Memphis (3rd millennium BC - 1st millennium AD).
According to one of the versions, it was here that a basket with the baby Moses was found.
ℹ It is here that one of the stops of the Holy Family in Egypt is located. Here they crossed the river and continued their journey up the Nile.
ℹ The Church of the Virgin Mary in Maadi is called “Al-Adaweya”, which means “Church at the crossing” (the name of the area and the church goes back to the Arabic “to cross”.
ℹ In the Church of the Virgin Mary in Maadi there is a staircase along which the Holy Family descended to the water for the crossing.
ℹ On March 12, 1976, an ordinary printed Bible was washed ashore near the church, which was opened on one of the pages of Isaiah, (19:25) the declaring: "Blessed be Egypt my people." The Bible can be seen in the chapel of the church.

.
It was discovered in the 1700s that Luxor arose on the site of the ancient city of Thebes, the capital of Egypt at the time of the Middle Kingdom. The discovery of Thebes is to be attributed to the Jesuit Claude Sicard who stayed in Egypt between 1707 and 1726.
It is a very important center from an archaeological point of view both because in the city there are the temple of Luxor and the Great Temple of Amun in Karnak, and because in the vicinity there are the archaeological sites of the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens.

💢the most precious and ancient of the icons are on the southern wall in this church

✴️“The Church of Martyrs Sergius and Bacchus in The Cave” in is one of the oldest Coptic churches in , dating back to the 4th century. It is traditionally believed to have been built on the spot where the Holy Family, Joseph, Mary and the infant Jesus Christ, rested at the end of their journey into Egypt. They may have lived here while Joseph worked at the fortress. The church is of significant historical importance, and in fact, it is where many patriarchs of the were elected. The first to be elected here was Patriarch Isaac (681-692) It is the episcopal church of Cairo, and it was the episcopal See of Masr (the district of Old Cairo) that replaced the former See of Babylon. Many bishops of the See were consecrated in the Church until the reign of Patriarch Christodulus (1047–1077). The church is dedicated to Sergius and Bacchus, who were soldier-saints martyred during the 4th century in Syria by the Roman Emperor Maximian. The most interesting feature is the crypt where Mary, Joseph and the infant Jesus are said to have rested. The crypt is 10 meters deep and, when Nile levels are high, is often flooded. The Church was built in the 4th century and was probably finished during the 5th century. It was burned during the fire of Fustat during the reign of Marwan II around 750. It was then restored during the 8th century, and has been rebuilt and restored constantly since medieval times; however, it is still considered to be a model of the early Coptic churches. Again, the most precious and ancient of the icons are on the southern wall.

⭕Karnak Temple near , in (Temple of the god Amun-Ra)

⭕The beginning of the foundation of the temple dates back to the era of the Middle Kingdom (the Middle Kingdom), and this is due to the presence of shrines belonging to King Senusret I of the Twelfth Dynasty, and some statues bases dating back to King Amenemhat the Third and King Amenemhat the Fourth.

Virgin Mary Monastery of Mount

👉Location :
Located about 10 kilometres from , on the west bank of the .

👉Why was it built ?
The monastery’s altar, dated 747 AD, its located on the very spot where the baby Jesus rested and is the oldest in the world.

👉Explanation :
The Virgin Mary Monastery stands 120 meters high, The Holy Family came to this place after they had escaped from Bethlehem in Palestine. They crossed the Sinai desert and passed through what is now Al-Matariya and Heliopolis in Cairo ,until they reached Mount Dronka in Assiut.

🔻There are a number of churches within the Virgin Mary Monastery, the oldest of which is the cave chapel, the front of which measures about 160 meters high and is 60 meters deep. Many stories are told by the Christian inhabitants about miracles by Jesus in every inch of the place.

Inside the 4,500-year-old cave, which dates back to 2,500 BC, people gather to say their prayers while examining the small room which is believed to be the Holy Family’s refuge before leaving back home.

Besides the cave chapel, the convent includes halls for spiritual and social activities and many rooms for the reception and accommodation of visitors.

We can also see cemeteries of Christian Copts who have passed away. They were lovers of the Virgin Mary, who wanted to be buried near the place where she once lived.

Back then, the Holy Family left Assiut on a boat heading north to Misr Al-Qadeema (Old Cairo). They reached the now-Church of Abu Serga, and spent a few days in its cave.

“After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt” and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were trying to take the child’s life are dead,” The Gospel of Matthew 2:19-20 of the bible read.

They then crossed the borders of Egypt to Palestine, where Christ began a new phase in his call to Christianity. As an extraordinary child, he taught Jewish priests. In his youth, he saved a woman from being stoned to death. He left these immortal teachings, which changed humankind, just as his steps changed the history of our lands.

GABAL AL-TAYR

✨Crossing the Nile from Samalut, just as later Christian pilgrims have done for centuries, the Holy Family went to Gabal al-Tayr (Mountain of the Birds in Arabic) on the East bank of the Nile. The location is so named because of the migratory birds resting on its top. It is also called Gabal al-Kaff or Mountain of the Palm. Such nomenclature is attributed to the tradition that when the Holy Family came here, a pharaonic temple stood on the place where the church erects today. The idols of the temple collapsed in the presence of the true God, fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah 19:1. Consequently, the pagan priests turned angry and intended to avenge. So the little Jesus put his hand on the mountain, thus left the imprint of his palm, and split it in two to have a cleavage for the Holy Family to hide from the angry priests. Other tradtion says that Jesus protected the Holy Family from a stone falling upon them and consequently left his hand print.

🔺Hewn out of the mountain side, the unornamented but sublime church overlooks the banks of the Nile from a steep cliff. It was reputed to have been built by Queen Helena around a cave that once sheltered the Holy Family. However, the alleged holy cave seems to be even younger than the church itself. Thus, it would be anachronistic to impose the Holy Family Tradition on the alleged “holy cave”.

🔻From above the mountain, you certainly have a magnificent view of the Nile and its fascinating green valley. The church is one of Egypt’s most important pilgrimage sites. Close to the church are guest houses that are used by pilgrims during the church’s celebrations.

🔸A few years ago pilgrims identified the worshipping tree several kilometers south of Gabal al-Tayr. Tradition says there was a tree bowing down to worship the Holy Family during their sojourn in Egypt. However, unfortunately the tree was cut down by squatters in January 2001, for they feared that the increasing interest in the tree could result in authorities pushing them off the land of their own.

The Virgin Mary’s tree in Cairo’s Matariya District (Shagarat Maryam)

This site is also accessible via a metro stop, near the Metro station. Not too far from the stop you’ll find this next pilgrimage site: an ancient tree that once grew next to a spring. Only the trunk of the ancient tree remains, but other younger and smaller trees still mark the space.

Here tradition maintains the Holy Family stopped, and the Virgin Mary washed some garments. In the process, some water spilled on the ground, and a balsam tree grew in that place. Pilgrims believe this connection to the Holy Family, and the Virgin Mary especially, bestows blessings upon its visitors — particularly women wishing to have children. Don’t be surprised if you see pilgrims from a variety of religious backgrounds paying homage at the site; Christians as well as Muslims highly revere the Virgin Mary (known as Maryam in Arabic).
