I had no idea what to suspect when traveling to Egypt. All that I have ever seen is what’s in the history books and in the media. I went to Egypt thinking that the history was going to be so amazing which would over power the whole trip. Yes the history was truly amazing but what popped out the most to me was the Coptic Church’s.
In school we don’t learn about the Coptic religion, but after visiting the Coptic churches I’ve discovered it was a big part of Egyptian history. Reading the bible we learn about mosses splitting the red sea and freeing all the slaves. We also learn about the Romans occupying the land. From all this came the Coptic Church.
All churches are built for a reason, and the three main historical churches in Egypt were no different. The first on we saw was built where mother Mary took baby Jesus to hide. The second was built over a piece of land that they found the footprints of mosses. The last church is called the hanging church and is called that because it was built over roman ruins.
All though I went on the trip thinking the pyramids were going to be the most memorable things I saw, I was wrong. The churches are the one thing I came back with the most memorable moments.
This trip was truly a once in a lifetime experience that I am so thank full that I was able to go on, and I know that with out ARAMFO I would have never been able to do anything like this.
