In this Tuesday, April 16, 2013 photo, a detail of layers of frescos dating back to the thirteenth century, and before, at the ancient monastery of St. Anthony southeast of Cairo, Egypt. In a cave high in the desert mountains of eastern Egypt, the man said to be the father of monasticism took refuge from the temptations of the world some 17 centuries ago. The monks at the St. Anthony's Monastery bearing his name continue the ascetic tradition. But even they are not untouched by the turbulent times facing Egypt's Christians, defiantly vowing their community's voice won't be silenced amid Islamists' rising power.

FILE - In this Friday, Nov. 23, 2012 file photo, Protesters storm an office of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood Freedom and Justice party and set fires in the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria, Egypt. The accusations against two Muslim Brotherhood officials that have been ordered to stand trial for allegedly kidnapping and torturing three men at the group's headquarters there, according to the city prosecutor's office, stem from November protests that swept much of the country, including Damanhour in the Nile Delta. The protests followed President Mohammed Morsi's decrees, which have since been rescinded, giving himself near absolute powers. (AP Photo/Amira Mortada, El Shorouk Newspaper, File)
