Martyrdom And the Coptic Church

They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented—  of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth.  

Hebrews 11:37-38

St. Mark who preached Christianity in Alexandria, Egypt was an Apostle, Evangelist and Martyr. He was dragged through the streets of Alexandria until his head was detached from his body thus received the Heavenly Crown of Martyrdom. 

May his prayers be with us all Amen.

Happy Feast of Nayrouz to all.

Points of Resemblance Between St. Peter & St. Paul

† Both were Jews.
† Both were called by the Lord.
† The Lord changed the name of each of them.
† The Holy Spirit came upon each of them; and each of them spoke with tongues.
† Each of them had the power to give the Holy Spirit.
† Each of them made wonders and miracles.
† Each of them raised up a dead.
† Each of them was a flame of energy, holy zeal, and work of predication.
† Each of them preached and taught, and made efforts in the ministry.
† Each of them was bold and courageous in his predication.
† Each of the two saints Peter and Paul was firm in his punishment of the sinners.
† In spite of all this, the two saint apostles were humble.
† Each of them was exposed to many persecutions.
† Saint Peter suffered scourging for Christ, and likewise also he was confined to jail.
† As for Paul, how numerous are the persecutions which happened to him and to his participants in the ministry!?
† Each of the saints Peter and Paul obtained the crown of martyrdom.

The Price of Christian Faith

Our Condolences to our sister Church the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and most of all to the families of the 30 Ethiopian Orthodox brethren who were brutally shot and slaughtered at the hands of the Islamic terrorist group "IS" in Libya because they refused to convert to Islam. Heaven is celebrating the arrival of those martyrs and receiving them in great honour with the rank of heavenly saints. 

Ethiopian and Coptic Orthodox Churches are sisters in every way through the Orthodox faith, and now they are bound by the shared blood of theirs sons, the 30 Ethiopian Orthodox and the 21 Coptic Orthodox martyrs who preceded them not so long ago. 

Let us lift up our hearts in prayers for their families for the loss of their sons, may the Lord repose the souls of the martyrs and comfort their families and grant them peace.
