President Abdel Fattah El Sisi took part in Coptic Christmas Day celebrations at the Cathedral of the Nativity in the New Administrative Capital on Thursday.
Egypt’s Coptic Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas on Friday, nearly two weeks after most of Christendom’s other denominations. Most of Egypt's Christians are Orthodox, with tiny Catholic and Anglican communities.
Pope Tawadros II, 69, is currently the spiritual leader of Egypt’s Orthodox Christians. He is the 118th pontiff of the Coptic Orthodox church. He ascended the “throne” of St Mark the Apostle in 2012 following the death of his predecessor, Pope Shenouda III.
