>>Is it true that the police knocked down the fence?
This is not true, all the troops and police cars retreated since they got the orders to do so at about 1:30pm egyptian timing 19-8-2002. The fence is still safe with your prayers
>>A
question about the importance of the fence:
The Monastery
is located in the depth of the desert , and if anything happened
to it , it will take very long time for any help or support to
reach them. From here comes the importance of the fence to protect
the monastery from robbery and theives.
