St. George's Church, Coptic Cairo

alt

This image depicts the ceiling of the Church of St. George in Coptic Cairo. The church is Greek Orthodox and is located next to a monastery. St. George, or Mar Girgis in Arabic, is a very highly venerated saint in Egypt, particularly because he was martyred in Palestine in 303AD. A church has been dedicated to St. George in Coptic Cairo since the 10th century, but the modern building dates to 1909. (Photo: Meghan E. Strong)
