The Hanging Church

The hanging church is built in ancient Cairo's Babylonian southwestern gate above Egypt's oldest Christian church, the church itself hanging in the aisle. It is a holy place for Egyptian Christianity because Mary, the Virgin Mary who was carrying Jesus, was here 1800 years ago and was later transferred to Jerusalem to give birth to Jesus.

Because of the political instability in Egypt, we can always see countless policemen maintaining it from getting off the bus to the scenic spots, so it is very safe to travel to Egypt.

Hanging churches are Christian churches, which are very small and cannot be compared with many famous churches. But because I was the first time to come to the church, I was deeply moved by the simplicity of the church and the strong atmosphere of faith. This church is usually ignored by tourists, so there are few Chinese faces, let alone teams. But the local people in the church, devout prayers, very touched me. The church is a little broken, but the atmosphere is quite good, and the attraction is free.
