SHEKINAH

Where God Dwells Among His People

A guided biblical experience

December 24, 2026 – January 3, 2027

See dates & book a session

This Christmas season, Virgin Mary Coptic Orthodox Church invites you to experience a guided Panoramic journey into the Shekinah — the sacred dwelling God commanded Moses to build in the wilderness — and to discover its significance in the spiritual life of His people.

This visit takes place during the holy Coptic month of Kiahk, when the Church’s Midnight Praises honour the Virgin Mary as the true Tabernacle — the dwelling of God the Word, who “became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14).

“And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.” — Exodus 25:8
