Egypt Community Dept: All five Coptic Orthodox Christian churches in Montreal have decided not to hold certain events that were planned for Friday, Christmas Day in the Coptic Orthodox calendar, according to CBC. The RCMP have warned the community to take extra precautions during Orthodox Christmas. In response, some churches are hiring security for remaining Christmas events, while others have asked for police protection and montreal's Coptic Orthodox churches have cancelled some Christmas celebrations planned for this weekend after the New Year's Day suicide bombing in Egypt. Community leaders say the reaction is motivated not only out of respect for the victims of the bombing, but also out of a perceived security threat. As
reported in the news.
