The
Church
of
Saints
Sergius
and
Bacchus
known
as
the
Church
of
Abi
Sarraj
was
built
over
the
ruins
of
an
ancient
Roman
castle.
The
history
of
the
church’s
construction
is
in
doubt,
as
some
scholars
believe
it
dates
back
to
the
end
of
the
fourth
and
early
fifth
centuries
AD,
while
others
see
it
as
dating
back
to
the
seventeenth
century
AD.
This
church
has
a
special
place
among
the
rest
of
the
Coptic
churches,
because
it
is
linked
to
the
journey
of
the
Holy
Family
in
Egypt.
The
name
of
the
church
belongs
to
both
Saints
Sergius
and
Bacchus,
who
were
martyred
in
the
Rusafa
area
in
Syria
according
to
the
Christian
belief.
Like
the
rest
of
the
early
churches,
the
church
and
its
underground
raid
were
designed
in
the
basilic
style,
which
consists
of
a
cross-sectional
area
and
longitudinal
portraits
and
oriental
apse
(bottom
of
the
cave).

بنيت
كنيسة
القديسين
سرجيوس
وباخوس
المعروفة
باسم
كنيسة
ابي
سرجة
فوق
أطلال
قلعة
رومانية
قديمة.
ويعد
تاريخ
بناء
الكنيسة
محل
شك،
حيث
يعتقد
بعض
العلماء
بأنها
ترجع
لأواخر
القرن
الرابع
وأوائل
القرن
الخامس
بعد
الميلاد،
بينما
يرى
البعض
الآخر
أنها
ترجع
للقرن
السابع
عشر
الميلادي.
ولتلك
الكنيسة
مكانة
خاصة
بين
بقية
الكنائس
القبطية،
وذلك
لأنها
مرتبطة
برحلة
العائلة
المقدسة
في
مصر.
ويرجع
اسم
الكنيسة
لكل
من
القديسين
سرجيوس
وباخوس
الذان
استشهدا
بمنطقة
الرصافة
بسوريا
حسب
المعتقد
المسيحي.
ومثل
بقية
الكنائس
المبكرة،
صممت
الكنيسة
ومغارتها
الواقعة
تحت
الأرض
على
النمط
البازيلكي
حيث
تتكون
من
مساحة
عرضية
وأروقة
طولية
وحنية
شرقية
(أسفلها
المغارة)
وتتميز
الكنيسة
بخصائصها
المعمارية
والفنية
الفريدة
والتي
تعكس
الروح
العمارة
القبطية
في
مصر،
فنرى
الإنبل
ومغطس
التعميد
والحجاب
الخشبي
المطعم
