Churches are strictly secured for the Easter


The securities of the churches in corporation with the government are intensively securing all the churches in Egypt to avoid any terrorism action that might happen in the Easter day or before it.

It’s to be notable that there’re a massive sad events that happened in the last few day specifically on the palm Sunday for Christians, which are two suicidal bombing that took place in churches in two different countries one of them is Saint Mark's Coptic Orthodox, Cathedral the principal church in Alexandria, seat of the Coptic papacy, and the other is St. George's Church in the northern Egyptian city of Tanta on the Nile delta.

And according to the CNN the bombing in Alexandria killed 17 people and injured 48, and in Tanta 28 people have been killed, and then after a few hours Amaq News Agency declared that the attacks were carried out by a security detachment of the ISIS, and as a result on that day the Egyptian President Abd El-Fattah el- Sisi announced that a three-month state of emergency will be imposed.

And what made things worse that after a few days particularly in Tuesday of the same week the security of Saint Michael and St. Shenouda Coptic Orthodox Church that is located in Shobra have found a black bag directly in front of the church which contained three bombs but no one gets hurt and they rescued the situation.


The good news is that after all this intensive security inside and outside the churches and all these sad and terrified events, the Christian people insisted to not let anyone let them lose their happiness of the Easter that they waited it too long and the churches were full of people attending the prayers of the Easter and in addition to that the alot of Christian people in Alexandria attended the prayers in Saint Mark’s church that was exposed to bombing a few days ago.
