من طرف admin الإثنين يوليو 14, 2008 9:30 pmOur St. Was Born In 195 In Bardanouha - Matay - El Minia From Christian Parents who Brought Him Up To Follow Church Rites And to Love the Church And its hymns
He Was Devoted To Be a Deacon In The Church At The Age Of 8 And Became a Priest When He Was 29 Years
One Of God's Gifts To Him Was His Son (Aphraham ) And (Dermouda) His Daughter
In Fact He Was Famous For His Services And The Visitation Of Prisoners And This Raised The Anger Of The Prince Of ELKEES Dionecta Who Tortured Him Fiercely In The Fire Place And With Heated Sharp Wheels . But His God Didn't Forget His love For Service And Began To Support Him By Sending The Arch-Angel Michael Who Healed Him . DIONICTA tried To Dissuade Him To Leave His Faith But In vain . Then He Sent Him To The Prince Of Old Cairo ( kalkianos) Who Tortured Him By Snatching The Hair Of His Beard And His Nails. He Rubbed Them Down With Unslaked Lime . And Like The Previous Prince He Tried Very Hard To Double The Punishment To Force Him To Disbelieve In God And Worship Other gods But Our Saint Refused To Do This And Accepted All Kinds And Courses Of Torments for The Sake Of God . Afterwards (Kalkianoc) Sent Him To (Armanios) , The Prince Of Alexandria , Who Brought To Him The Magician (Sedrakhos) Who Believed In God And Became Christian After He Had Failed To Kill The Saint With His Poison . At The End After A Series Of Torments The Holy God Appeared To Him Before His Martyrdom , Encouraged Him And Promised Him To Send His Body With The Help Of His Angel To His Birthplace Bardanouha
Ultimately The Saint Sacrificed His Life And He Was Beheaded By The Order Of The Prince ARMANIOS At The Age Of 109 . In 17 Toot , 27\9 In The Day Of The Feast Of The Cross
His God Awarded Him By Making His Sacred Body Return To His Village Via A Stone Floated In The River Against The Current Of The Water And This Was a Great Gift From God To His Relatives And His Sons In Bardanouha Who Received His Body With Great Happiness And Hymns Were Raised to Express Their Pride For Receiving His Body.
We Pray Day And Night To God To Reveal To Us The Body Of One Of The Great Martyrs
Ava Kastour The Priest
We Ask Our Saint Who Is In Heaven To Pray For Us
Amen
