On Saturday 17th of March 2012, the long trip of pain, which the holiness Pope Shenouda the third has lived, had ended and the trip of the glories, the manifest and the hidden from the human eyes, has begun. Those days on which Egypt has been lived with his departure to the paradise were called “Meeting of millions”. That meeting included the majority of Egyptian categories; if not all of them. It included Christians with all the denominations and Muslims, leaders and people. He had been the messenger of peace struggling in a difficult era, and a peaceful man even in his departure from this world. They all expressed with all their heart the deep grief, and a lot of world’s presidents and institutions shared in uniquely and wonderfully. His marvelous love to the leadership in the Arab countries, makes most of them say: “He isn’t the Pope of only the Christians, but he is the Pope of all the Arab countries”. In his farewell, the people crowded in which three people died, and six ambulances carried those who couldn’t handle the terrible crowd. One of the broadcasters said: “I don’t wonder if some people prefer to die while they crowd to have the blessings from his corpse”. Indeed, the unique way that we have seen in his farewell after he departed from this world is a natural fruit for the seeds of love which he planted in his life and resulted in love.
