Pope Tawadros Hosts Minya Officials Iftar
The article discussed His Holiness Pope Tawadros II's visit to the Virgin Mary's Monastery in Bahanesa, Minya. During the visit, he invited the governor and officials to indulge in "monastery fava beans" as a token of appreciation for the ancient Egyptian hospitality tradition of "a plate of fava beans and a cup of tea." The Pope emphasized that the monastery's fava beans have a distinctive taste due to the prayers conducted by the monks during their preparation, which grants them a special flavor. He also highlighted the importance of Egypt's rich historical heritage and diverse civilizations. Additionally, he mentioned Egypt's role in the origins of Christian monasticism dating back to the 3rd century AD. He pointed out that the Saint Anthony Monastery is considered the first monastery in the world and earned the title "Father of All Monks." Monasticism was widespread in Egypt until the 5th century AD, reflecting Egypt's historic contribution to the spread of monastic life and spiritual expertise.
