The Holy Family took a boat from Lycopolis for their return north. The
Holy Virgin recently appeared in Assiut which is seen by Coptic Christians
as a confirmation for the Holy Family’s visit to Assiut. American
author Paul Perry took in April 2002 his now famous photo of miraculous
light over the church of St. Mark, believed to be a manifestation of the
Holy Virgin.

Metropolitan Michael of Assiut explained the light over the church as “another spiritual phenomena from the heavens. (See "Jesus in Egypt", chapter 17). |
