The cathedral is decorated with lights to celebrate the glorious Easter Day

The Cathedral of All Saints in Zamalek was decorated with lights to celebrate the glorious Easter feast hours before the start of the Eid Mass headed by Dr. Mouneer Hanna, Archbishop of the province of Alexandria of the Episcopal/Anglican Church, in both Arabic and English to serve Egyptians and foreigners.

The Easter Mass will begin at 9 pm today after the cathedral bells ring to mark the start of the prayers.

It is worth noting that the province of Alexandria of the Episcopal/Anglican Church is the 41st region of this church around the world and includes under its leadership 10 countries in Egypt and North Africa and is subject to the presidency of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and it is affiliated with the Anglican Communion around the world.

In Egypt, the service of the Episcopal/Anglican Church began in 1815, and then the first Episcopal/Anglican Church was established in Alexandria in 1839 when Muhammad Ali Pasha, the Governor of Egypt, granted a plot of land in Mansheya Square in Alexandria to establish the St. Mark’s Episcopal/Anglican Church.
