Embrace Trustee Katharine von Schubert writes of her recent trip to Embrace-supported projects in Egypt, of the strength of faith of the Christians she met and of witnessing the transformative work that they do.

Our Christians friends and partners across the Middle East tell us how they will be celebrating Pentecost.

This week, our friends and partners in Egypt tell us how they celebrate Holy Week. Just like in the UK, Holy Week and the Easter celebrations at its end are a hugely important time for Christians across the Middle East.

Lent is observed by Christians across the world. This week, our friends and partners in Egypt share how their churches mark this time of reflection and contemplation. Christians in Egypt predominately belong to the Coptic Church, but other denominations include Armenian Apostolic, Catholic, Maronite and Anglican.
