Altar under a wooden canopy in the sanctuary of Saints Sergius and Bacchus Church, or Abu Serga, founded 4th century, in Coptic Cairo, an area of Old Cairo, in Cairo, Egypt. On the right is the apse, decorated with coloured marble and mosaics. The church is believed to have been built on the site where the Holy Family stayed after their Flight into Egypt, and is the oldest church in Egypt. 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
