Pope Shenouda has been laid to rest at St Bishoy Monastery which is situated Cairo-Alexandria road in northern Egypt’s Wadi Al-Natroun region.
Pope Shenouda III, an iconic figure for 40 years at the helm of Egypt’s Coptic Orthodox Church, was laid to rest Tuesday in a desert monastery after a moving funeral Mass at a Cairo cathedral attended by tens of thousands. Shenouda’s death brought an outpouring of expressions of Muslim-Christian unity, but it has done little to hide the alarm of Egypt’s 10 million Christians and liberal Muslims over the political ascent of Islamists.
