...Here is the tomb of the Alexandrian Popes and Patriarches Since St. Mark the evangelist , you can see a great saints like St. Athanasius the Nicene creed writer he is number 20 and St. Cyril he is number 24 ( the names are in Coptic , English and Arabic enlarge the pic to read it)
Coptic sure looks and reads like Greek, doesn't it?
Very beautiful photos indeed!

And when the old man had gone some distance, he cried out with a loud voice, and said. "O God, send Moses unto me, and let him teach me [the meaning of] this verse;" and straightway a voice was heard holding converse with him. Now Abba Ammon heard this voice, and said, "I heard the voice which spake with him, but the force of the verse I never learned." – The Paradise of the Holy Fathers
