The eight year restoration of the 1600 year old Christian monastery St. Anthony's has recently been completed. The restorations to the monastery have been extensive including a tower, two churches and the monks quarters.
The monastery was founded by St. Anthony who lived in isolation in a cave and when he died his followers built the monastery. The timing on the completion of the job is good as it may hopefully bring a measure of calm and tolerance in lite of the recent religious based murders on the eve of Coptic Christmas.
