Feast of Virgin's Fast Begins at Dair Drenka Monastery
The evening ceremony and procession marking the start of the Virgin Mary’s fast took place at Dérnka Monastery in Assiut Governorate, with widespread participation from priests, monks, and thousands of Coptic Christians, led by His Grace Bishop Yohannes, Bishop of Assiut. The event aims to celebrate the beginning of a 15-day fast, which is one of the most prominent spiritual seasons in the Coptic Orthodox Church. The programs include holding liturgies, spiritual reflections, and hymns dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The monastery witnesses large numbers of visitors from various governorates. It also holds historical significance related to the visit of the Holy Family to Egypt, as it is believed to be the last location where the Holy Family resided before returning to Palestine. This event serves to enhance spirituality, reflection, and the renewal of the Coptic faithful’s spiritual life. The celebration concludes with the Feast of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary’s body.
