coptichymns.net - Sharing the Joy of Coptic Hymns Around the World

We bitterly received the news of the Sharm el Sheikh explosions, which claimed many innocent victims.  It was an unexpected incident in a tourist region that troubled the international conscience, as this region has nothing to do with wars or rifts.

I would like to extend my most heartfelt condolences to President Hosni Mubarak, as well as the victims' families.

We pray that the Lord may stop this flow of innocent blood.

His Holiness Pope Shenouda III,

Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of St. Mark
