In an "annual habit," not left behind by the Copts of Egypt, to reflect the values of "co-living," which bring them together with Muslim partners of the homeland, a number of priests have contributed to the purchase of Eid scouts and the distribution of meat to the poor.
This year, the participation of priests has been doubled by the purchase of documents by the Egyptian Ministry of Awqaf, as well as the intention to slaughter "sheep" in designated places near churches in several governorates of the Republic; For distribution to the poor and needy.
One of the best examples of this is that Al - Qur'is, Adib Adib, the Catholic deputy of the Coptic matrons in the province of the Red Sea, is keen, along with a number of priests participating annually in the Egyptian Ministry of Awqaf's "Instruments of Sacrifice" project launched by the Ministry for the sixth consecutive year.
According to Adib, "As usual every year, we have purchased the scripts from the Ministry of Awqaf, and we will distribute meat to the poor in coordination with the Ministry."
Yanis reveals: "Our participation this year will not only buy waqf instruments, but also consider buying sheep and slaughtering them in dedicated places near the church, in order to distribute their meat to the poor and needy."
According to the Red Sea prefecture's Catholic agent Matraniye Coptic: "Our holidays are one. We all live in one country, and we seek to bring joy into everyone's hearts. "
This year, Coptic participation in the sacrifice project launched by the Ministry of Awqaf has doubled.
Alanba Ilarion, the bishop of the Red Sea Coptic Orthodox Tapestry, notes that this year's contribution to the sacrifice project was £16,000 by 8 instruments, 6,000 more than last year.
