“Blessed is God! In our time as well martyrs have come forth, and we have been made worthy to see people sacrificed for the Lord Christ, people who shed their holy blood to irrigate the entire Church. We have been made worthy to see people, advocates of piety, who are victorious, who are crowned……and we now have these crowned ones among us.” St John Chrysostom . “The more you cut us down, the more in number we grow. The blood of Christians is seed…. For after thinking about it, who among you is not eager to find out what is really at the bottom of it all? And after inquiring, who does not end up embracing our teachings? And when he has embraced them, who does not also willingly suffer so that he may partake fully of God’s grace?” Tertullian #PalmSundayMartyrs #CopticMartyrs #Pascha #HolyWeek #PrayforEgypt #Paschareadings #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
