Secrets of Abu Fana Monastery in Minya
His Holiness Pope Tawadros II visited the ancient Abu Fana Monastery in Minya, one of the oldest monasteries in the world, dating back to the 4th century AD. The region's monastic activity thrived before being devastated by shifting sands. During the visit, he presided over the Divine Liturgy, which was attended by His Grace Bishop Demetrios, along with several bishops and monks. A spiritual sermon was delivered, focusing on the spiritual meanings of monastic life. The Pope also anointed the relic of Saint Eva Veni and inaugurated the historic monastery church, which has undergone restoration and has a long history of monastic activity, with reconstruction efforts beginning in 1987 and officially approved in 2004.
