Bishop Yohanna Qolta, the Deputy Patriarch of the Catholic church, believes that the month of Ramadan is a chance for social solidarity. The priest of the Hanging Church, described Mawa’id Al-Rahman as the Mawa’id of the national unity and love. Reverend Manees Abdel Nour said that Ramadan reminds us that Egyptians are living in one country and whose religion is between them and their God.

*It is a habit in Ramadan that rich people provide poor ones with food to break their fast. This came to be called Mawa’id Al-Rahman which means the dinning tables of God the Merciful.
