WHAAAAAAAT!? Oh no!! I knew this would happen! The Convent is in the middle of the city :(
Are the nuns hurt? Is the building damaged? Anything stolen?
I heard that the monks from one of the monasteries (I'm going to give a random guess and say it's Wadi El Natroon) fled.
Btw, who's El Kamouny? The way you put it in context, he sounds like a supervillain.
... that He may forgive us our sins.
do u have any sources??

I actually don't think so. when I asked my mom she said there were 5 or 6 monasteries named after abu saifain. from what I got, I think the monastery is in upper egypt?

So when tamav was still the head of the convent, there was this electrician guy who came to do some work in the convent. He was a christian, but the "in name only" type. Anyway, so he was climbing the ladder to get to the roof, when tamav stopped him, and said 'wait till I get you something to cut the wire with'. The guy was like, who is this woman telling me how to do my job? and he went up anyway. He didn't even get up to the roof, before the wire hit him, he was electricuted and fell down dead. The nuns started getting kinda worried because this would cause trouble for the monastery with secular authorities (who as we all know, aren't that secular and would just LOVE to get a monastery for anything). Anyways, tamav told the nuns to place the body in front of the altar, and they began tasbeha. after tasbeha was over, the body started to move, and the guy got up and was totally freaking out. He was all like I NEED a priest, NOW! and he was shouting and really distressed. So tamav was like, "calm down, what did you see?", and the guy answered "I went to this really dark, stinking place, that was terrifying and had all these screaming voices, but I couldn't see anyone. and suddenly, this guy on a white horse shows up and looks at me and says, "You! I've spoken to the Lord. That monastery you were in was my monestary, and your death would cause a lot of trouble there for the nuns. You can go back, but the moment you exit it's doors, you will die, because your time has come." and then I was here, and I NEEED TO SEE ABOUNA NOW!" So tamav told the guy that this was a woman's monastery, and that there were no priests that spent the night here. He would have to come back in the morning. The man refused to leave, he spent the night in the convent, and they brought him a priest the next morning, he confessed and had communion, and died as soon as he left the monastery.
moral of the story:
abu safain takes care of his monasteries.
Btw, who's El Kamouny? The way you put it in context, he sounds like a supervillain.
dunno how I missed this the first time I read you post. He's the guy that was accused to the Nag Hammadi shootings at the church. and sentenced to death.
