St Antony Church, Shoubra كنيسة الأنبا أنطونيوس شبرا
St Antony Church, Shoubra كنيسة الأنبا أنطونيوس شبرا stands in Shoubra, Cairo, as a Coptic Orthodox landmark amid busy urban life. Its light stone façade rises with towers topped by crosses. Open doors let incense and quiet voices meet the street’s steady hum, joining sacred interiors with ordinary neighbourhood movement. Arches, icons, and soft light shape a calm refuge.
The church honours Saint Anthony, the Egyptian monk remembered as the father of monasticism. His tradition continues here through worship, teaching, and service. Young people learn leadership, sing in the choir, and serve others within an active community. Bishop Saraphim and Father Angilos Antoun began their paths here before serving abroad.
