A bomb exploded in a church north of Cairo that was packed with Palm Sunday worshipers, killing at least 13 people and wounding 25 others, officials said.
The attack in the Nile Delta town of Tanta was the latest in a series of assaults on Egypt's Christian minority, which makes up around 10 percent of the population and has been repeatedly targeted by Islamic extremists. It comes just weeks before Pope Francis is due to visit Egypt.
Please pray for the families that have lost loved ones and for the injured and their families.
Matthew 5:10 New Living Translation (NLT)
God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right,
for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
