Today has been a very sad day for every Egyptian. Two bombs detonated
in Saint Mark’s Cathedral in Alexandria and Saint George’s Coptic Church
in Tanta. Tens of worshipers lost their lives on Palm Sunday and
everyone has been left heartbroken.
During the social media frenzy that followed the explosions, a photo
of a young boy in church holding a palm branch went viral, claiming that
he is the youngest victim in today’s horrendous act of terror. Soon
after, social media users started sharing a collage of the young boy
before and after the Tanta explosion.

Thankfully, the boy’s mother announced on Facebook that someone
started sharing a photo of her son as the youngest martyr in Tanta. The
parent took to social media to let people know that her child is alive
and well, and urged people to stop sharing the fake rumor.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and loved ones of the fallen victims. May they all rest in peace.
