Standing Together in Prayer

Feast of the Holy Family’s Entry into the Land of Egypt

Prayer from the Advent of Christ to the land of Egypt in the Coptic Orthodox Church:

... As angels praise him and the soldiers of heaven chant to him, crying out to him: Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of Sabbath, heaven and earth are full with your holy glory. He, who the angels praise, came today to Egypt in the arms of his mother Mary, virgin of the new heaven, and righteous Joseph the carpenter. Rejoice, O Egypt, children and land, because the savior of Man, there from the beginning of time, came to you...
