Description: The festivals related to the Journey of the Holy Family to Egypt commemorate the Holy Family’s voyage from Bethlehem to Egypt. Every year, the event is memorialized by two festivals in which Egyptians, including Muslims and Coptic Christians of all ages and genders, participate in large numbers. An embodiment of the social and cultural fabric shared by Coptic Christians and Muslims, knowledge and skills are transmitted through churches and monasteries, within families, and through active participation in the rituals.
