GENERAL COMMENTS
In his preface, H.E. Anba Antonio says that the exhibition signifies the unity and cooperation not only between the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church, but by all Christians, in Italy and in the world. This event demonstrates not only the effort to strengthen the cohabitation of the local Coptic Orthodox community and the Catholic community but also to shed light on the importance of getting to know each other and remaining in close contact.
