Interior of the Abu Serga. The ceiling of the church
is made after the manner of the ark of Noah. This is symbolically
made in many Coptic Orthodox churches, meaning that in the house
of God we are saved from the world’s troubles as those who
were saved in the ark from the flood. (photo: Alexander Onderwaater)
