Our Coptic Church lives by the work of the Holy Spirit inside
of her. Her page of martyrdom comes from the fruits of the
Spirit. We are amazed how our fathers and our martyrs withstood
their sufferings; how they were unshaken, how they conquered,
and how their honored blood, which was shed, destroyed the
weapons of the evil kings and rulers.
Martyrdom is the story of Christianity from its inception.
It is a story of spreading the Holy Gospel all over the world.
The witness of the martyr's blood was greater than any teaching
or preaching. Martyrdom is a deep philosophy founded on strong
spiritual principles for which Christians from all social
levels, cultures and throughout the ages have been attached
to.
