The Egyptian government has undertaken the restoration of the ancient Coptic Christian Monastery of Saint Anthony (Deir Mar Antonios).
Along with restoration of the structures and paintings, the work includes uncovering and making visible the monks’ cells and work areas beneath the floor of the church. It appears that they have done a wonderful job.

We didn’t get to this monastery when I was in Egypt a few years ago, but it will be on my list when I return there.
