Moscow, October 13, Interfax - Russian restorers are involved in restoring Coptic churches of Egypt.
They are entrusted to restore the Holy Virgin Church in Cairo also known as the Hanging or Suspended Church.
Russian experts work under direction of Dr. Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, the Vesti TV has reported on Tuesday.
History of the Holy Virgin Church dates back to the 3rd century. The Hanging Church is named for its location above a gatehouse of the Babylon Fortress, the Roman fortification in Coptic district of the Egyptian capital.
According to the Director of the Egypt Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences Galina Belova, Russian archeologists have recently made many serious discoveries in Egypt.
Stephan Huller has had a life long interest in religion and spirituality 
dating back to conversations with his grandfather, Gaston Frank. "He said we represent one of the last descendants of the Frankist Jewish faith in the world," he muses. "I grew up thinking that our family was something like the Last of the Mohicans."
