A number of political movements in Alexandria organized a one-year memorial for the victims of Two Saints Church. Father Philopater Jamīl, Father of Virgin Mary Church in Faysal, attended the memorial and said that if the Supreme Council of the Armed forces (SCAF) wanted to know the "invisible being" that shed the Egyptian blood then all what SCAF needs to do is to look in the mirror. 

Father Butrus, monk at Saint Paul Monastery, said that Copts will not allow anything against their doctrine to be enforced on them even if they paid their lives to resist it, referring the Islamist movements.
