Upholding the memory of the Coptic Martyrs

[Philip_B]

I should not I was greatly encouraged by the Response of Charles, Prince of Wales, to this situation, someone often treated as a fool in the media, yet a person who it would seem, whatever his own troubles has depth and faith.

Thanks be to God.

Rest Eternal Grant to them O Lord
And Let Light Perpetual Shine upon them

The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church.

We mourn their passing. Their blood cries out in witness from the sands of Libya, that Jesus Christ is Lord.

We pray for our brothers and sisters in faith in the Oriental Orthodox Church, and for all Christians in lands facing persecution for the name of Jesus. May we by their witness be inspired to treasure the name and value the faith for Jesus more preciously day by day.

I too used that icon as my avatar here at CF for a while after that horrific event.

It was in the news a bit at the time, however I think it was low key and not a publicity event.
