As soon as Pope Kyrillos VI was installed on the Throne of Saint Mark, he began to put the foundations of a great monastery close to the remains of the old city. Thus, the old monastery of Saint Menas is resurrected in it’s purity and glory, and the Copts are able to visit it once again and to be blessed by the saint. Pope and Patriarch Kyrillos VI even stated in his will that his body should not be buried in the new and very fine Cathedral of Saint Mark in Cairo, but in the monastery of his personal friend and intercessor, Saint Menas the Wonder Worker.
