On the morning of Sunday December 11, 2016, St. Peter’s church of Al Abbaseya in Cairo, which is attached to St. Mark’s Cathedral, suffered a terrorist attack that left 25 martyred and over 50 more injured. The attack took place when the church was full of families worshiping, which resulted in the injury and death of predominantly women, children and young adults. The blast also caused extensive damaged to this ancient church.
Given the current grievous situation, an emergency relief fund under the name “St. Peter’s Church martyrs” has been created. All funds raised will go directly to those afflicted and their families.
