On Palm Sunday 2017, Magid was selling palm branches with his wife and son by the gate of St Mark’s Cathedral in Alexandria, Egypt, when a suicide bomber detonated his device near them, killing Magid’s wife, Hannan.
Eight worshippers, four Muslim police officers and four Muslim passers-by were killed, and 35 others injured.
Recently, World Watch Monitor visited Magid and his children, eight-year-old Youssef and six-year-old Maryam, and heard about their life after Hannan’s death.
