where he was sleeping. When they woke him up, Mubarak was in shock and shouted "By the name of God! How did you come here? The door is closed!" St Philopatyr then said "By the power of Christ we can move through locked doors." The President then recognized Mother Irini and said "Aren't you the Abbess of the St. Philopatyr Monastery? I have seen a picture of you." Mother Irini then answered "Yes, they had an article about me in Wadki.(an Egyptian magazine.)" Mubarak then asked Mother Irini," Who is this man with you?" Mother Irini then said "He is the Patron Saint of the monastery, St. Philopatyr Abu Sayfain." Mubarak then asked what they wanted. St Philopatyr then said "Don't come close or lay a hand on the monastery." Mubarak then agreed immediately. St Philopatyr then disappeared and Mother Irini was teleported back to her room in the monastery. It is unknown if Mubarak converted to Christianity or not. Most Copts suggest otherwise due to the difficulties of converting people from Islam to Christianity in Egypt. They are certain, however, that Mubarak believed in the Christian faith References External links The departure of Mother Irini Tamavireneforall is a nonprofit site that shows material about Tamav Irene whether in video, audio or in written form.
