A young man reaches forward to light candles at a metal votive stand inside Mar Girgis Church (Saint George Church) in Old Cairo (Masr El Adima), one of the oldest Christian sites in Egypt. The stone brick interior walls and arched doorway with ornate metalwork reflect the church's historic Coptic architecture. Candle lighting is a traditional Christian act of prayer and devotion practiced regularly by Coptic worshippers and visitors at this landmark church.
