HG Anba Makarios Bishop of Minya and Abu Qurqas said “The biggest proof that there is no objection from the Muslims in the village of Minya to open the church there is that the number of Copts that attended the Mass of the Blessed Virgin Mary Feast yesterday is greater than the numbers who would have prayed in the closed place”. They prayed in front of everyone, including the Policemen who surrounded the worshipers, and this didn’t arouse anyone’s anger. We did not yet know who objected the opening of the church. “
