An Egyptian flag is waved as thousands of Egyptian Copts attend a Mass in the Cave Cathedral, or St Sama'ans, in the Manshiet Nasser district of Cairo on Dec. 13, 2012, where they prayed for Egypt ahead of the disputed referendum on the new draft constitution slated for Saturday.

President Mohammed Morsi and his Islamist allies support the charter while a wide spectrum of liberals, youth groups and others see both the process and the draft as flawed.

A beautiful response to Political unrest and violence. My prayers go to all Egypt.....
These photographs are most intriguing so I tried to get more information on this beautiful Cathedral. As always, articles of the plight of Coptic Christians dominated everywhere I searched. What ever is decided, the Christian minority and other minority needs must be included. Egypt is at the crossroads. My hope is for a new government that truly represents all Egyptian citizens. It would be a welcome change considering all of the abuses minorities have had to deal with over the years.

This is a beautiful cathedral in the side of a mountain where many miracles have been reported. It is also in the scriptures. While I am not a Copt, I live in Heliopolis and enjoy many friends ~~ both Coptic and Muslim. The spiritual sites are truly beautiful from all aspects: spiritual, historical, and academic. I hope you will visit Egypt so you can meet the wonderful Egyptians and visit these wonderful sites. :)
The Muslims are acting in their typical aggressive manner. A secular pluralistc Egypt is needed.Send the Brothethood back to prison where they were before.They support terrorism both internally and abroad.This Morsi guy doesn´t even bother to hide his devil´s tail anymore.Super bad news for Egypt,the region and the whole world! A power grab of the worst sort .Even if he won the election fairl,.which is not certai,.he can´t use it to put in a Islamic dictatorship.The people or the military must overthrow this tyrant.He will be much worse than Mubarek.Get rid of him now!
Newsvine didn´t send me the revision space.Please excuse the 2 typos
Hey bart!!!
As always, excellent post. Agreed. This snippet from one of the links that I posted above shows just how interested Morsi is in the population as a whole. (yes, sarcasm.)
