Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus

The Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus in Old Cairo, known among the faithful as Abu Serga, preserves the memory of the Roman era, the first centuries of Christianity, and the flight of the Holy Family into Egypt as described in the Gospels—when King Herod, upon learning from the Magi about the birth of the King of the Jews, ordered the massacre of all infants in Bethlehem.
