– Church of St. George

The history of the church is truly amazing! Initially, the name of the builder and founder was unknown for a long time. But in 1984, construction work was carried out at the site of the Raifa Lavra, during which the escalator motor suddenly stopped. The driver who approached the place heard a voice from the ground, and he shouted “Help!” Taking a shovel, the driver began to dig out a person who, in his opinion, could have been caught under the rubble. But the find was different. Having rested his shovel on the solid remains of the coffin and the preserved body of a man in monastic guise, he informed the abbot of the monastery about this. The relics of this monk were placed in the left aisle of the temple, and it is striking that not only the body, but also the eyes were well preserved. Soon a group of pilgrims from Cairo visited the church, and one of the women did not bow to the relics out of fear of the dead. That same night, after returning to Cairo, in a dream she saw an archimandrite in a robe, who told her that he was Gregory, the founder of the temple, and indicated the place of the inscription he left on the wall of the temple. This was soon confirmed, as indeed the following inscription was found on the wall of the temple: “I, Abbot Gregory, built this temple in 1887.”
