Coptic Cairo

Outside the museum, near ancient Coptic sites in Cairo



A grotto beneath one of the ancient Coptic churches is believed to be the hideout used by the Holy Family as they fled Herod (sorry, no photos) Matthew 2:13 says Jesus and his family fled to Egypt to avoid Herod's wrath. Luke 2:22 says they remained with him in Palestine. Guess which version they subscribe to in Cairo?
