The church of Saint Sergius and Bacchus is one of the oldest Coptic churches in Cairo. Coptic tradition has it that the church was built over the site where the Holy Family once rested during its journey into Egypt.
The event is commemorated every year on June 1st with a mass.
See the crypt where Jesus may have rested, marvel at the sight of 24 marble columns that line the courtyard and examine 12th century iconostasis that depict the 12 apostles
