Overview

Egypt is presented here as a place shaped by an enduring Christian presence. You will learn about the time the Holy Family — the Virgin Mary and Jesus — spent in Egypt, moving from north to south and staying for more than 30 months. That story helps explain why Egypt is rich in Christian cultures and architecture. As you explore the country’s Coptic history, you will encounter its early Christian heritage and the origins of monastic life. The experience will highlight Egypt’s role as the land of the first monastery and the beginnings of the monastic system. Along the way, you will gain context for the region’s religious traditions, architectural influences and cultural continuity that link those early years to the sites and communities you will visit.
