I nearly missed posting today about Coptic Christmas because I thought that it was the 6th January today, for which my apologies - things have been a little hectic up here in Wales!In the Coptic Orthodox religion Christmas takes place on the 29th of “Kiahk” (a Coptic month), which is equivalent to the 7th of January.
In Egypt the Copts make up 10% of the population. It has not been an easy year for the Coptic population of Egypt, so here's hoping that 2009 will be better.
There's a photograph on the Egypt Daily Star website of Pope Shenouda III leading Midnight Mass last night/this morning.
My sincere best wishes for a very happy day to everyone celebrating Christmas today, with a particular hug for Maged Anas and his lovely family.
