What travelers say:

The hanging church is built in ancient Cairo's Babylonian southwestern gate above Egypt's oldest Christian church, the church itself hanging in the aisle. It is a holy place for Egyptian Christianity because Mary, the Virgin Mary who was carrying Jesus, was here 1800 years ago and was later transferred to Jerusalem to give birth to Jesus. The church is small but beautiful, and has preserved many relics of the saints, but only here can be seen, because it cannot be photographed.
