What are the main features of the #Hanging #Church complex?
One of the Hanging Church's most notable features is the ceiling, which is built of vaulted timber and intended to resemble the interior of Noah's Ark. Another highlight is the marble pulpit, which is supported by 13 marble columns meant to represent Jesus and his 12 disciples

Why is it called the Hanging Church? (the hanging church)
The Hanging Church is named for its location above a gatehouse of Babylon Fortress, the Roman fortress in Coptic Cairo (Old Cairo); its nave is suspended over a passage.

How old is the #Coptic Church?
Copts believe that their Church dates back to around 50 AD, when the Apostle Mark is said to have visited Egypt. Mark is regarded as the first Pope of Alexandria. This makes it one of the earliest Christian groups outside the Holy Land

What does Coptic mean?
The word "Coptic" comes from a Greek word meaning "Egyptian," and describes a person from Egypt. While the Coptic denomination was first founded in Alexandria, which remains the symbolic headquarters, the church is now based in Cairo at St. Mark's Cathedral.

What is called Copts in Egypt?
#Coptic Christians, known as Copts, are the largest ethno-religious minority in Egypt, constituting roughly 10 per cent of the country's 95 million people

What does koshari taste like?
Koshary is made of rice, macaroni, and lentils mixed together, topped with a spiced tomato sauce and garlic vinegar and garnished with chickpeas and crispy fried onions.

What is the national dish of Egypt?
#koshari
Also spelled koshari or kushari (those pesky transliterations from Arabic script!), it is widely considered Egypt's national dish. Rice, lentils (black or brown), chickpeas and pasta are cooked individually, then tossed together and topped with cumin-scented tomato sauce and crunchy fried onions

#kushari

Kushari plate is a mix of rice, spaghetti or macaroni, and black lentils mixed together, topped with a spiced tomato sauce, and garnished with chickpeas and crispy fried onions. A sprinkling of garlic juice, or garlic vinegar, and hot sauce are optional. The plate contains a lot of ingredient, but it has a very good taste and it is cheap too, maybe the second common food in Egypt after Ful and Ta'ameya. The Egyptian streets is full of restaurants that serves Kushary, it can be eaten anytime of the day.
