Since early morning, the security had been beefed up around the churches and the faithful were closely watched by the security forces with tight control at the entry and exit points.Tight security measures contributed to a peaceful atmosphere during the Friday ceremony throughout the day. These measures were taken to prevent a repeat of what happened in Egypt in Tanta and Alexandria — the bombing of the churches.
