Pope Tawadros II

“Our country Egypt, beloved to St. Mary the Virgin, who once carried her baby, our Lord Jesus, under the protection of the guardian of the mystery of the Divine Incarnation, Joseph the Carpenter, and brought Him to Egypt fleeing the wrath of King Herod. After twenty centuries, she sought us again with this amazing apparition on the domes of her church at Zeitoun, Cairo, half a century ago, in 1968.”
