We spent an interesting evening gathering at the Church of St. Mary in Al-Sharabiya where the first seminar about Coptic heritage was held. This seminar was organized by the Association of the Lovers of Coptic Heritage and opened by Bishop Martirous and Dr. Abdel Dayim Nousir, deputy head of the Azhar University. The seminar included two lectures. The first lecture was about contemporary paintings that drew inspiration from Coptic heritage. The second lecture was about the role of Coptic architecture in preserving heritage.
