Egypt, Cairo

Cairo, the last potters, a traditional coptic christian minority activity. Coptics, Greek Orthodox, Syrians, only few components of the fragmented galaxy of the “living stones” as often are defined the oriental christian churches, are the protagonists of a frequently forgotten world that currently menaces to die in the same places in which Christianity born. Rituals and stories similar to legends lost in time survive intact and in these places regain the strenght of a living reality.
