Make sure to visit St. Mark’s relics in the chapel underneath the main sanctuary (go to the backyard and walk through the garden gates).

Also make sure to go to the “Coptic Center” a few buildings down in the same secured complex - it’s not advertised super well, but they have relics of the IS martyrs from the Libyan coast and cathedral attacks. Very powerful.
