Pope Tawāḍrūs said that Egypt boasts a unique blessing, as it is the country that welcomed Jesus Christ and the Holy Family, who lived on its land.

"The route of the Holy Family has remained preserved and protected throughout the centuries thanks to the churches and monasteries that have maintained the sites of the holy journey generation after generation," said Pope Tawāḍrūs during celebrations marking the entry of Jesus Christ into the land of Egypt.
