This morning, Sunday 22 May, saw Requiem Mass held at Boutrossiya church

in Cairo for the victims of EgyptAir flight MS804 which crashed over the

Mediterranean in the early hours of Thursday 19 May killing all 66 passengers

and crew on board.

Presiding over Mass was Anba Danial, Bishop of Maadi and Papal Secretary,

who was joined by Anba Yulius, Bishop of Old Cairo, and a number of Coptic

clergy. Anba Danial was representing Pope Tawadros II who is currently in

Austria on a visit that serves the double purpose of pastoral and medical care.

During the sermon, Anba Danial relayed the condolences of Pope Tawadros to

the victims’ families and friends. The Pope, Anba Danial said, called from

Vienna to express his deep sympathy with the bereaved, saying they were

continuously in his prayers.

Anba Danial cited the names of the victims for which the Requiem Mass was

being held. They were nine Copts: Yara Tawfiq, Magdy Ayad, Wahuih Hanna,

Osama Faheem, Isabelle Henein, Raymond Samuel, Medhat Tanius, Wefqy

Ishaq, and Daoud Mikhail. He said that they have indeed died in the flesh, but

will wake to eternity in bodies of light. He prayed for comfort to all who loved

and missed them.

Watani started as an Egyptian weekly Sunday newspaper published in Cairo. The word Watani is Arabic for “My Homeland”. The paper was founded in 1958 by the prominent Copt Antoun Sidhom (1915 – 1995), who strove for the establishment of a civil, democratic society in Egypt, where all Egyptians would enjoy full citizenship rights regardless of their religious denomination. To this day when Watani is published as a weekly paper and an online news site, the objective remains the same. Those in charge of Watani view this role as a patriotic all-Egyptian vocation. Special attention is given to shedding light on Coptic culture and tradition as authentically Egyptian, this being a topic largely disregarded or little-understood by Egypt’s media. Watani is deeply dedicated to offer its readers high quality, extensive, objective, credible and well-researched media coverage, with special focus on Coptic issues, culture, heritage, and contribution to Egyptian society.
