Church of Saints Sergius

The Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus_Old Cairo

The Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus (Abu Serga) is a 4th century church and today is considered to be the oldest of Cairo's Christian churches. It is dedicated to two early martyrs and traditionally believed to have been built on the spot where the Holy Family, Joseph, Mary and the infant Christ, rested at the end of their journey into Egypt. They may have lived here while Joseph worked at the fortress.

The Church of St Sergius appears as just another house in the area - with a modest and ordinary door on a flat unadorned facade. This church is possibly the oldest and most unique of the churches here, founded in the 5th century. Its main attraction is crypt claimed to be the place where the Holy Family stayed during their Egyptian exile.
