'The Church of Holy Mother of God in the Roman Quarter') or the Church of the Virgin of Relief (Arabic: كنيسة العذراء المغيثة, romanized: Kanīsat al-ʿAdhrāʾ al-Mughītha)[1] is a Coptic Orthodox church in al-Ghūrīya, Cairo near the Convent of Saint Theodore.
In 1660 Pope Matthew IV of Alexandria transferred the seat from Ḥārat Zūwayla to Ḥārat al-Rūm,[3] where it remained until 1800 when Pope Mark VIII transferred the patriarchal seat to Saint Mark's Coptic Orthodox Cathedral, Azbakeya.
It was damaged by fire during the reign of Pope Mark VIII (1797–1809) but was restored and rebuilt.
