Icon of St Barbara, pointing at tower where she was locked by her father, in the Coptic Orthodox Church of St Barbara, with marble pulpit and wooden rood screen with painted icons, in Coptic Cairo, an area of Old Cairo, in Cairo, Egypt. The original church here was founded in the 5th century and dedicated to St Cyrus and St John (Abu Kir and Yohanna). The Church of St Barbara was founded by Athanasius of Edessa, scribe of amir Abdel-Aziz Ibn Marwan, 685-705 AD, to house her relics, then was reworked in 1072-73. Christianity grew here near the Babylon fort from the late pharaonic and Roman eras and during Islamic rule, and 6 early christian churches remain. Picture by Manuel Cohen
