THE VIRGIN AND CHILD


One of the most known icons around the world is this one, of the Virgin Mary with little Jesus on her arms. Christians that in some places of the world suffers prosecution due politics or other religious issues. May be when some Christians who see this picture, ignore that has been taken from one of the very first Christian places of the world... Egypt. It belong to one of the magnificents copt frescos at the Monastery of Saint Anthony the Great near the red sea, and where was founded one of the very first Monasteries of the world, which is still in service. Near two thousands year of history and nowadays one of the worst places to be a Christian. This is one of the nonsense things, that humanity sometimes has.
