Coptic Christmas Eve mass events

Women attend Christmas Eve mass, led by Coptic Pope Shenouda III at the Coptic cathedral in Cairo, Egypt, Friday, Jan. 6, 2012. This is the first Christmas since Egypt's uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak and is the first since last year's massive explosion at a church in Alexandria, which happened under Mubarak's regime, but the culprits were never identified. Many Muslims have volunteered to protect churches in an attempt to allay fears.
