This area in which the temple was built was the ancient Kanopos, but according to tradition it was renamed Abukir, from the union of the two words "Abu Kir" (Father Kyros), as the present Saint of our church lived there, coming from Alexandria in the 3rd century AD..
It should be noted that Patriarch Theodoros wished for the healing of those suffering from the coronavirus, while thanking the Communities that came to celebrate the great anniversary, and in particular the Financial Supervisor of the Greek Community of Alexandria Paris Pefanis Makris, who offered to bear the cost of the entire second phase of the renovation of the sanctuary, which already starts next week.
