⚠️TW⚠️ murder
Just learnt of a martyrdom that occurred yesterday in Alexandria under the hand of fundamentalists
What I find touching is that his last act was charity. To distract him, a guy acted as a beggar, and while he was giving him alms another guy stabbed him from behind

William Shakespeare's parish church is now a Coptic Church I repeat WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S PARISH CHURCH IS NOW A COPTIC CHURCH
Just spent a blessed morning at the inaugural liturgy at our new church in central London.
St Andrew by the Wardrobe is a 17th century church which was once the parish of William Shakespeare. It is a blessing to be able to attend this wonderful church for our services.

Love how Ethiopians have little forests around every church
Must provide a lovely little sanctuary of peace, both inside the church but now also outside of it, under the extended arms of wizened trees
“A church without a forest is like a naked person. A disgraced person.”

Also a thing that bothers me in people who actually believe stuff like this is how anglo-centric it is
They think the world revolves around how some people on some tiny European island pronounce a holiday

Also I never really understood their logic in regards to this
Like.. all vertebrate embryos look the same. And?
If you put the embryo of one species in another, even if they "look the same", most of the time the body would reject it as a foreign body still

What I find hilarious is people in the replies nitpicking saying "NOOO CHRIST HAS ONE FINGER UP THAT MEANS ONE INCARNATE NATURE" which 1- No, it signifies the Teacher/Orator (first pic credit to

iirc)
I’m not sure why certain orthodox Christians on here are slandering oriental/coptic/ethiopian iconography but it’s very uncharitable and borderline blasphemous.

At least the Church gained a new gem —a new saint in heaven to decorate its ever-embellised crown, among the ranks of martyrs of old!
Imagine dying since you represent your faith, being equal to Sts George, Mercurius, Peter, Paul, and the myriads with them!

Funny story, but once my grandmother visited the Baramos Monastery near him with her fam, and they told her "you have to visit Fr AbdelMessih or your car will break down near his cave" (seems to be a recurring experience??)

I love how Copts go maximalist in holy week
Literally the most moving chant I've ever heard in my entire life was just them saying the header to a homily in the service: "a homily of our holy father Shenoute the Archimandrite, may his blessings be with us all amen."

I absolutely love Nubian iconography, and I'm glad modern Coptic iconographers are taking some inspiration from them
Like in the original, above the Nubian Bishop Peter, there's his patron, St Peter
Here, above St Euphemia is the Archangel Michael, her patron
I always think it’s really cool that there were parts of Africa that were Christian centuries before parts of Europe

Clearly St Mark
Copts mention him in every liturgy and service with great fondness, as one is fond of his father, since he's the one who evangalised Egypt and is considered our first Pope
And yet... the rest of the Christian world don't care as much? 😪🥺

Anyhow, an oft mentioned aspect of St Kyrillos VI is that when he lived in an abandoned windmill in the outskirts of Cairo, he was an "urban monastic" who attracted many, and because of that, for the first time, attracted many very well educated people to the life of monasticism

I'd not be Orthodox if not for:
- God's grace
- My mom
- St Kyrillos VI
- St Cyril I
- My priest (I'd be soo worse off if I had a less gentle priest)
- Fr Daoud Lamei
- Unironically, the example of the lives of some people on Twitter
I'd not be Orthodox if not for:
- Metropolitan Kallistos Ware
- Fr Matta El-Meskeen
- Metropolitan Anthony Bloom
- Fr Aleksander Men
- My wife
- Fr Simon (my spiritual father)
- Archbishop Angaelos (My Bishop)
The last three have kept me in the Church in hard times.

I've said it so so often, but this is peak masculinity, not the losers you find online
Christian men should absolutely reject the so called descriptive “truth” of the manosphere. You want masculine truth ? Read the psalms, the book of Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Ecclesiasticus, Wisdom and songs of Solomon and book of Sirach. All is there for us to see.
