成千上万名悲痛的科普特基督徒为周六去世的领导人欣诺达教皇进行第二晚的守夜,Jon Leyne报道。
Inside St Mark's Coptic Cathedral, they gather to pay their respects. For the next three days, the body of Pope Shenouda III will not lie in state, but rather sit in the papal throne in full ceremonial robes. Over four turbulent decades, Pope Shenouda has presided over the largest Christian community in the Middle East. Coptic Christians saw him as a protector and a father figure - the only religious leader many have known all their lives.
在圣马可科普特大教堂内,人们聚集在一起表达对教皇的敬意。未来三天里,欣诺达三世的遗体将不在公众面前供瞻仰,而是身着节日盛装安坐在教皇宝座上。在过去动荡的40年间,欣诺达三世主持领导了中东地区最大的基督教社区。科普特基督徒视他为保护者和尊长,欣诺达三世可能是他们一生中认识的唯一一位宗教领袖。
