The Tourism Promotion Authority supported Egypt’s pavilion with brochures and gifts that were presented to the visitors of the exhibition.
The Bishop of Vincenza, Don Giuliano, expressed his happiness with Egypt’s participation in the Holy Family’s journey itinerary for the first time in the exhibition in which all religious itineraries worldwide participate.
He said that Egypt is an ancient country with historical and religious civilization.
It is the first country in the world to embrace the three religions, and it is also the only country in the world to which the three Abrahamic religions accept the precence of God’s miracles in Sinai.
Egypt also embraced the Holy Family’s escape attempt of Jesus more than 2,000 years ago.
He hoped for greater participation of Egypt in the next exhibition.
