Always an experience to visit this great, very magnificent church and to be able to experience a mass.

The church and the monastery building are also beautiful. It was surprising to us that the monastery shop operates on a cash register basis, with self-service POS terminals. The best idea is the Mass wine vending machine in front of the church! (Unfortunately, it was raining when we were there, so we couldn't taste Mass wine, but we were enriched with two super high-quality "disposable glasses" that we will not throw them away...! They will serve perfectly as travel glasses for many years.)

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
