EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the awe-inspiring entrance to the historic St. Sergius Church, also known as the Hanging Church, located in the heart of Old Cairo, Egypt. Dating back to the 4th century, this ancient place of worship is renowned for its unique architectural features and deep historical significance. The image showcases the intricately carved stone gateway, adorned with intricate masonry and ornate cross designs, which serves as the threshold to the sacred space within. The gateway's name, 'Hanging Church,' is derived from the fact that it is built above the southern tower of the Fort of Babylon, with its columns appearing to 'hang' over the moat surrounding the fortress. Beyond the gateway lies the church's most fascinating feature - a deep crypt, ten metres below the church floor. This crypt is believed to house the holy relics of the Holy Family, who, according to legend, sought refuge in Egypt during their flight from King Herod's soldiers. The crypt's depth and the church's rich history add to the sense of mystery and reverence that surrounds this remarkable place. The photograph, taken circa 1970, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the enduring beauty and historical significance of St. Sergius Church. With its intricate stonework, deep-rooted history, and unique architectural features, this ancient place of worship continues to captivate visitors from around the world, inviting them to explore the depths of its history and the heights of its spiritual significance.
