Pope Tawadros II, the head of the Coptic Orthodox Church, will lead the holy prayer of the Easter at the St. Mark's Coptic Orthodox Cathedral Abbassia on Saturday, the Coptic Church announced.

It is worthy to mention that Pope Tawadros II led the Palm Sunday mass in Alexandria earlier on Sunday at the Cathedral of St. Mark.

Moreover, Thursday, marks Maundy Thursday which Christians celebrate the Last Supper, and the washing of the feet of Jesus’ students, followed by the Holy Friday which commemorates the death of Christ, and Saturday marked the Holy Saturday of the Holy Fire.
