A Revolution in Egypt

Candle-lit Tahrir Square on New Year’s Eve

On New Year’s Eve, tens of thousands of Egyptians held a ceremony in Cairo’s iconic Tahrir Square to commemorate those killed during and after the uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak’s regime. Egyptian Coptic Christians and Muslims lit up the square with candles and fireworks to end 2011 (the year of the revolution). They affirmed hope and unity, as well as resilience to face the challenging year ahead.
