Extract
This is the seventh volume of the series Christianity and Monasticism in Egypt. It contains the essays presented at the seventh international symposium of the St. Mark Foundation for Coptic History Studies and the St. Shenouda the Archimandrite Coptic Society. The symposium was held on February 8–12, 2015 in the Monastery of Saint Menas (Dayr Mari Mina) near Alexandria. It was His Holiness St. Cyril VI who revived monasticism in the famous Late Antique pilgrimage site of the shrine of St. Menas. In February 1962 some of the relics of St. Menas were translated from his church in Fumm al-Khalig to the new monastery. The monastery continues to flourish and hundreds of monks enjoy their monastic life there. In addition to a number of Egyptians, the invited scholars, who represent a variety of academic disciplines, come from Australia, England, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, and the United States.
I am greatly blessed and grateful to His Holiness Pope Tawadros II for his continued support to the St. Mark Foundation. It was an unforgettable experience when His Holiness performed the Mass in the ancient site of the great martyr St. Menas. He personally inaugurated the symposium, welcomed its participants and attendees, and encouraged them to promote knowledge about Egypt’s Christian legacy. The symposium was hosted by Bishop Kyrillos Ava Mena, Abbot of the Monastery of St Menas. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to His Grace for his unparalleled generosity.
