no edit summary
According to the [[Scripture]], Jesus Christ lived in Palestine, and the only other country he travelled to (as a young child) was Egypt. The Holy Family, throughout their stay in Egypt, which lasted for about three-and-half years, moved through many towns in Upper and Lower Egypt.
Many churches and monasteries were built in the locations which have been blessed by the visit of our Lord [[Jesus Christ]], the Holy [[Virgin Mary]], and St. Joseph the carpenter. Many miracles took place in these locations during the Holy Family visit 2000 years ago (and continue to occur to this day). These [[Coptic]] churches and monasteries are considered the oldest and among the holiest of all places churches in Christendom.
Among the places visited by the Holy Family are [[Zeitun]] in Cairo, where the Holy Virgin Mary also appeared in 1968, and Assiut in Upper Egypt, where She again appeared in 2000 [http://www.zeitun-eg.org/assiut.htm].
