The event brought together members of Singapore’s Coptic community to mark World Coptic Day and commemorate the entry of the Holy Family into Egypt.
The Egyptian Ambassador to Singapore, Mr Ahmed Mustafa, participated in a celebration organised by the Egyptian Church in Singapore to mark World Coptic Day and the anniversary of the entry of the Holy Family into Egypt. The occasion brought together members of the Coptic community and their families for a programme of cultural, religious and community activities.
World Coptic Day is observed annually on 1 June and has been celebrated by Egyptian churches in Egypt and abroad since 2019. The event in Singapore was held as a part of these commemorations and highlighted the historical and religious significance of the Holy Family’s journey in Egypt.
In his remarks, Ambassador Mustafa highlighted Egypt’s longstanding tradition of coexistence among different faiths and communities and encouraged visitors to explore the Holy Family Trail, which connects key religious and historical sites across the country.
Approximately 100 members of the Coptic community and their families, including participants from various nationalities, attended the celebration. The programme featured a charity bazaar, children’s activities and the presentation of traditional Egyptian food. The event concluded with community celebrations reflecting the cultural heritage and traditions associated with World Coptic Day.
