Maspero Youth Coalition held a festival in the rain on November 27, 2011 to pay tribute to the martyrs, killed during the Tahrīr square protests.
The celebration was held in Tahrīr square and al-Katībah al-Tībīyah, or the Theban Legion choir, participated in the festival.
Coptic Orthodox Pope Shenouda III urged Copts to vote for parliamentary candidates who can best serve the country's interests, regardless of their religion.
Pope Shenouda did not vote in the parliament elections as he usually does because he is currently undergoing medical checks in the U.S. city of Cleveland.
