Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi attended Christmas Mass for the third year running where he vowed to build the largest church and mosque in Egypt.
Announcing that he has donated EGP 100,000 towards the project, the Egyptian President said that the church and mosque would be built in Egypt’s new capital city by 2018.
The President said that the opening of the largest church and mosque will be celebrated next year to mark, adding that the occasion would coincide with 50 years since the construction of St Mark’s Cathedral in Cairo.

“Ugliness has no place here. Only beauty has a place among us. We here, in our country, will serve this, peace and good, to the whole world,” said Sisi, rebuking anyone who criticized him for marking Christmas at the Cathedral in Cairo.
“I am here in a house of God, and I say please God, keep Egypt safe,” said Sisi, ending his speech.
In 2015, President Sisi became the first Egyptian President to attend Christmas Mass.
