On this day, the forerunner and great prophet, St. John the Baptist, son of Zacharias the priest, was martyred by the order of King Herod. When St. John rebuked Herod because of Herodi as, the wife of his brother Phillip whom he had taken as a wife, he said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” (Mark:6:18) Herod seized the Saint and cast him into prison; however, he feared AnJohn.opportune day came when Herod, on his birthday, gave a feast for his nobles, the high officers and the chief men of Galilee. And when Herodias’ daughter herself came in and danced and pleased Herod. He promised her anything she might ask for, even as much as half of his kingdom. She went to her mother and asked her, “What shall I ask?” Her mother said, “Ask for the head of John the Baptist on a platter.” When Herod

11th September - 1st Tote 1739
Feast of El-Nayrouz
(Beginning of the Blessed Coptic Year).
Today is the beginning of the blessed Coptic year. It is necessary to keep it a holy day with full purity and chastity. Let us start a new demeanor as St. Paul the Apostle says, “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation: old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.” (2 Cor. 5:17-18) And Isaiah the Prophet says, “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the meek; He has sent Me to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives. To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” (Isaiah 61:1-2) And David the Prophet says, “You crown the year with Your goodness; and Your paths drip with abundance.” (Psalms 65:11) We ask our God to keep us without sin and help us to act according to His will with the intercessions of the pure Saint Mary, all the Martyrs and Saints. Amen. The Martyrdom of St. John the Baptist. 12th September - 2nd Tote

heard this, he was exceedingly sorry. But because of his promise and those who were sitting with him, he did not want to refuse her request. He therefore commanded his servants to cut off the head of Saint John and they gave it to the damsel and the damsel gave it to her mother. (Mark 6:20-28) There was great consternation that day, and their joy soon turned into sorrow. It was said that when the holy head of St. John was cut off, it flew up off their hands into the air, and it cried out saying, “It is not right for you to take your brother’s wife.” It is also said that the head now is present at Homs in AsSyria.ofthe holy body, the disciples of St. John took it and laid it in a grave until the days of Pope Athanathius, when God Willed to uncover his body. His blessings be with us all. Amen. The Departure of Isaiah the Prophet. 16th September - 6th Tote On this day, the great Prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, was killed by the hand of Manasseh the King who sawed him with a wooden saw. This prophet prophesied in the days of five kings: Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, and Manasseh. He prophesied to Ahaz saying, “Behold, the virgin shall conceive, and bear a Son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” (Isaiah 7:14) He also prophesied that, “His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace,” (Isaiah 9:6), and the Lord will have mercy upon the world by offering Himself a sacrifice for all mankind as, “He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him; and by His stripes we are healed..., and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” (Isaiah 53:5-6) He prophesied to Hezekiah and encouraged him when Sennacherib, King of Assyria, besieged Jerusalem. He informed Hezekiah that God would perish Sennacherib because of his blasphemy against Him. And that night the angel of the Lord went out and killed in the camp of the Assyrian 185,000 men (Isaiah 37:36), and those who were spared fled from the camp. And when Hezekiah the King was sick, Isaiah told him

When he saw that Leo, Archbishop of Rome, was teaching that Christ has two natures and two wills
to set his house in order, for he was to die. And when Hezekiah prayed to God, He sent to him Isaiah the prophet who made known to him that God had added to his days 15 years. And God showed him a sign so that he might realize the validity of his prophesy. (Isaiah 38:8) Isaiah prophesied about what would befall Israel from calamities because of the hardness of their hearts, love for sin and their forsaken of the worship of God, and only a few of them would be believers. Because of his prayers God sprung water when the people were thirsty. On another occasion, when Isaiah himself was thirsty, God sprung for him the spring of Siloam. When he rebuked Manasseh because of his evil deeds and worshipping idols, Manasseh ordered to have him Hesawed.prophesied for 70 years and he came 913 years before the advent of the Lord Christ. His prayers be with us all. Amen. The Departure of St. Dioscorus, 25th Pope of Alexandria. 17th September - 7th Tote
On this day of the year 451 A.D., the blessed father and the great champion of Orthodoxy, Saint Dioscorus, 25th Pope of Alexandria, departed. His departure took place on the island of Gagra after he had fought the good fight defending the Orthodox Whenfaith. he was summoned to the Council of Chalcedon by the order of Emperor Marcianus, he saw a great assembly of 630 bishops. Saint Dioscorus asked, «In whom is the faith lacking that it was necessary to gather this great assembly?« They told him, «This assembly has been convened by the emperor›s command.« He replied, «If this assembly has been convened by the command of our Lord Jesus Christ I shall stay and speak with what God may give me to say; but if this assembly has been convened by the emperor›s command, let the emperor manage his assembly as he pleases.«
When St. Dioscorus knew this, he sent for the document and pretended that he wanted to sign it too. But when he read the document, he wrote at its foot that he excommunicated everyone who had signed it, as well as everyone who deviated from the Orthodox Faith. The emperor was enraged and he commanded to banish St. Dioscorus to the island of Gagra, along with St. Macarius, the Bishop of Edko, and two others, and the Council of Chalcedon was resumed. When they took St. Dioscorus to the island of Gagra, its bishop, because he was a Nestorian, met him with contempt and disdain. However, God performed at the hands of St. Dioscorus many great signs and wonders, so that all obeyed him, respected and revered him greatly, for God honors His chosen ones in every place. St. Dioscorus told St. Macarius, his companion in exile, «You shall receive the crown of martyrdom in Alexandria.« He sent him with one of the believing merchants to Alexandria, where he received the crown of martyrdom. St. Dioscorus, having ended his good fight, departed from this vain life and received the crown of eternal life. He departed on the island of Gagra where his body was laid. His blessings and prayers be with us all. Amen.
after the Union, he took the charge to refute this new belief. He stated that our Lord Jesus Christ is one, He who was invited to the wedding as a man and changed the water into wine as a God, and that the two natures were not separated in all of His works. Quoting Pope Cyril, he said, «The Hypostatic Union of the Word of God with the flesh is like the union of the soul with the body and like the union of fire and iron: even as they are of two different natures, by their union they became one. Likewise, our Lord Christ is one Messiah, one Lord, and one Nature.« None of those who were gathered at that assembly dared to contradict him. Among them were some who had attended the Council of Ephesus, which had been convened against Nestorius. Some informed the Emperor Marcianus and the Empress Belkarya that no one disobeyed their commands concerning the faith except Dioscorus, Patriarch of the City of Alexandria. They brought St. Dioscorus, and the leading bishops of the Council who debated and discussed the matter till it was evening, but St. Dioscorus would not deviate from his Orthodox belief. The emperor and empress were irritated at this, and the empress commanded to smite St. Dioscorus on his mouth, and to pluck out the hair of his beard. He took the hair and the teeth that were knocked out and sent them to Alexandria saying, »This is the fruit of Faith.«
When the rest of the bishops saw what had happened to Dioscorus, they agreed with the emperor, being afraid of undergoing the same fate. They signed the document of the belief that Christ has two distinct and separate natures.

Feast- The New Coptic Year Today September 11, 2022 - 1 Thoout 1739 for the martyrs, which is the first Sunday of the blessed month of Thoout Today is the first day of the Coptic New Year 1739 for the martyrs. It is Nowruz, and the readings of the Divine Liturgy today are: Pauline 2 Corinthians 5:11 - 6:13 If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, old things have passed away, behold, all things are new. Catholicon: 1 John 2:7-17, and the world passes away and its lust passes away, but he who does God’s will abides forever. Acts: Acts 17:16-34 these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to Therepent,Holy Gospel: Luke 4:14-30 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
Today is AlNayrouz Feast - the memorial of our holy martyred fathers, in whose eyes the whole world was nothing before their great love for the King Christ, so they set out in many processions to places of suffering and martyrdom in joy and marvelous ecstasy; Processions, which are still going on over generations. Our church lives in a permanent Nayrouz that began since it received the guarantee of faith The upright from her Groom and her heavenly lover, and she carried it faithfully and loyally through the generations, for her progress, sound, profitable, and fruitful at her meeting with the Lord at His Second Coming. We are the children of these faithful and truthful saints. The mother of the martyrs; the black and beautiful, the oppressed bride but joyful depending on her Groom through the wilderness of this Thisworld..beloved mother, on the wedding feast of her sons and daughters who sacrificed their blood for her, looks today at us who received the faith and asks us every day if we are as faithful as them faithful to the covenant! It is never enough to rejoice that our fathers were great heroes and saints. Rather, the important question today is: what about us?? The Lord calls us today to imitate them. With the message of love that He began for us, he delivered it to us on the cross. He heals the brokenhearted.. He calls the captives release and the blind with sight. He sends the oppressed to freedom, Preaching an acceptable year for the Lord.. The Lord is asking for these faithful souls today, like the widow of Zarephath of Sidon the honest and faithful until the last breath. In a time of severe famine, when a tender mother may trample her children because of the famine, we find this widow preparing the last meal for her

Thus, among many widows, she became the one worthy of honoring and hosting the man of God. The Lord also tells us about Naaman the Syrian, the faithful leader of his master and his mission. A trust that God loved very much and gave him to be honored to ask the God of Israel even though he is a pagan person of a strange gender. Among the many lepers at that time, he was the one whom the Lord granted the grace of healing in the Jordan River through the prophet Elisha. Today, the Lord is looking for those loyal people to entrust them with his preaching work in the midst of this world full of darkness and evil. When St. Paul went to Athens, his spirit became ardent in him, as he found the city full of idols, and he could not bear to be silent, even though he was only crossing and he did not intend to preach in it at that time. And the energy of love was released in him to preach and stand in the Areopagus, the most famous theater in the world at that time, to speak to the greatest philosophers of the world about faith, salvation and the resurrection of the dead. Although they mocked him and considered it a kind of joke to speak for someone about the resurrection of the dead, but the Lord did not deprive him of the fruit; two of those whose hearts God touched, among them was the great philosopher and scientist Dionysus the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris. They became a small leaven and the beginning of Christianity in Athens, which later became a great city for the Lord Jesus. So also St. Mark descended in Alexandria as a stranger, alone, without a bag, no mantle, and no extra shoes, but his heart was overflowing with a flood of love, wanting to attract souls to the Lord Jesus. And in the blessing of carrying out the commandment of detachment, the Lord gave him the gift of the first soul to believe in Egypt; Saint Anianus the cobbler. God has faithful witnesses in every generation and every place. God wants you today to be one of them. He wants you to testify of His love in the midst of a world full of hatred and selfishness. He wants you today to witness with your purity in the midst of a world where impurity has become its title and subject. He wants you to testify of your honesty in the midst of a world only who pay the price will be saved. God wants you today to be faithful and honest to the message that you were entrusted with so that you can deliver it pure and fruitful to your children and to those who come after you. Beware of the traders of faith and virtue who adorn you a false
+ St. Jacob of Persia. He is from a Christian family. At the beginning of the persecution he weakened and denied faith. His mother and wife grieved greatly over his denial of faith. They wrote to him a touching letter reprimanding him for his refusal to love the God Who loves him very much. He was greatly affected by their message and returned to declare his faith with courage. The king ordered that he be tortured by cutting his limbs off one by one. In all of this he thanked God and was comforted, and finally one of the guards came forward and cut his head off, and this was in the year 431 AD.
faith without origin. They did not receive the good thing like you. They have left their trusts before and they have nothing to hand over to their children except sweet, empty words. The Lord has allowed you to be and sojourn in this country to bear witness to Christ Who loved you; a practical testimony in which you will become a living and readable Gospel of all people Christ today wants to be imagined in you. He wants you to be a preacher of a year acceptable to the Lord.
+ St. George. He was a commander in Emperor Diocletian’s army. When the emperor issued decrees persecuting Christians, he left the army and went to the king’s palace confessing his Christianity in a public assembly in front of the emperor and all his entourage. The emperor’s efforts to tempt him or threaten him to abandon his true belief did not succeed with him. Nevertheless, a horrific series of tortures began, from which the saint came out unharmed and became the cause of the belief of many, including the emperor’s wife herself. In the end, the emperor ordered his beheading. We celebrate his martyrdom on the 23rd of Baramouda (1 May).
September 11 - 1 Tut is the first day of the Coptic New Year 1738 AM. It is Nayrouz, Martyrs’ Feast. This feast is one of the feasts that have a great place in our church. In the past it was celebrated as an official public celebration. Officially, it was considered a national feast in Egypt. Nayrouz feast is undoubtedly a national holiday for the Coptic Orthodox Church, in which the Church remembers her martyred children who gave their lives for their love in the King Christ. They set the most wonderful examples of their faith, their persistence, and their courage in the face of torture and death. Death has become for them a joyful thing that they strive for. They rush to it and consider it a gate leading to the meeting of their Beloved Lord Jesus. These are some luminous examples of the holy martyrs. Let us take from them an example of steadfastness and strength of faith...

+ Saint Mina the Wonderworker. He is one of the most famous martyrs in Egypt.
+ St. Mercurius (Abu Sefein). He was also a soldier of the Emperor. He was famous for his bravery and good manners. An angel of the Lord appeared to him in the likeness of a human being in white clothes and gave him a sword saying to him “if you defeat your enemies, remember the Lord your God.” This happened when the saint were on his way to war. Upon his return, the angel appeared to him again and reminded him. Indeed the saint went and confessed the Lord Christ and endured many tortures, then he received the crown of martyrdom around the year 250 AD, and we celebrate his commemoration on the 25th of Hatoor (December 4).
+ St. Demiana and the Forty Virgins. She is also one of the great martyrs in Egypt. Her father was the governor of Burullus. Because of her love for virginity, her father built a palace for her in which she lived with forty virgins to worship in it. And when her father Mark weakened and denied the faith, the saint sent to him saying: I was hoping to hear the news of your martyrdom. She convinced him to return back and declare his faith. And he returned and declared his faith and was martyred. The Emperor sent his soldiers to Saint Demiana when he knew that she was the reason for her father’s return to the faith. She refused to deny her faith, so she came forward with the forty virgins with courage. They confessed the faith with others around 400 individuals who attended the martyrdom. And they all came forward with courage to be martyred as well. Her body is still in the church that Queen Helena built for her near Belqas in the north Delta.
+ The martyrs of Libya. A few years ago, these simple heroes presented the most wonderful examples of adherence to faith in the most difficult circumstances. They left to us for the first time in history a living video recording of their recognition of the Lord whom they loved and their martyrdom for the faith in which they lived. No strength or pain was able to prevent them from catching up with the procession of the forefathers the holy martyrs. There are many examples of these heroes. It is a procession that began and will not end until the Second Coming. In it is all kinds of heroism and strong faith; there are martyrs for chastity, martyrs for virtue, and martyrs for faith. There is also with them a long list of confessors who were tortured and passed through the crucible of pain, but they were not martyred. Moreover, there are many those who are martyred every day for their chastity, purity and Christian principles. They tolerate ridicule and mockery; tolerate people’s harassment of them. It is true that blood martyrdom may be rare these days, but there is another type of martyrdom. The Church today needs this new type of martyrs who are ready to sacrifice their comfort, financial gain and the pleasures of the world for the sake of their Christianity. Beloved, ask yourself today: These martyrs gave everything they had, their whole lives. And you, what do I offer? Are you ready to sacrifice something, anything even a small thing? Are you ready today to offer something to the Lord Who loved you? You want examples! There are many examples. Quit smoking and inappropriate habits; dance parties, inappropriate movies, inappropriate clothes, excess makeup. Leave for the sake of Christ Who loved you. Put your feet on the first path of martyrdom. Perhaps a time will come when your whole life will be asked to be a price for your Christ. Will you be ready?
He is an Egyptian martyr who was a soldier in the King’s army. He left the army and went to the desert to worship. There he spent five years in an ascetic life, and at the end of it he saw a vision of angels crowning martyrs with luminous crowns. He desired to become a martyr and set out to the place of martyrdom, declaring his faith loudly in front of everyone. After a series of tortures, his head was cut off and he was martyred with many of those who became Christians due to his faith and courage. That was around the year 309 AD when he was 24 years old. We celebrate the commemoration of his martyrdom on the 15th of Hatour (November 24).
+ The child Kiriakos and his mother Yolita. The mother bravely confessed her Christianity while holding her young child on her hands. The governor ordered to remove her son from her and whip her harshly, but the child clung to his mother and when they took him from her and took him to the governor, he pointed his fingers in the governor’s face while he loudly declared: I am a Christian, I am a Christian. The governor was very angry, and he grabbed St. Kiriakos by his feet and threw him hard on the ground, so his head was crushed and he died. The mother thanked God that her son had preceded her for glory, and finally they cut off her head.

The Feast of Nayrouz – By His Holiness Pope Shenouda III
David Tadros & Rebecca Aziz St Beshoy and St Shenouda Church
The Feast of Nayrouz means the feast of commemorating the martyrs and we do not commemorate the martyrs once a year, but it is as if we commemorate them every day. If those among you read the Synaxarium you will find that every day it says, “In this day the Church commemorates…” and inevitably they contain a number of martyrs.
The martyrs in their martyrdom demonstrated the deepest form of love towards God. Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends” (John 15:13 ). The martyrs loved God more than their personal lives, and they laid down that life for Him. In their martyrdom they not only displayed the depth of their love to God, but it also contains the depth of their courage. It was with the depth of courage that they witnessed to Christ publicly even though the consequences of that witness may have led to their death. This is why St. John the Baptist, for example, whom the Lord described as, “among those born of women there was not risen one greater than John the Baptist” (Matthew 11:11 ), was a witness and a martyr at the same time. It is very likely that the term ‘martyr’ came from the term ‘to witness’, to witness to the faith, even if this ultimately lead to the person’s death for the sake of that witness.
The Feasts for the martyrs is not just a feast unique to the Coptic Orthodox Church only, but all the churches have some form of commemoration for the martyrs. This is because the martyrs have in the church a special position which is greater than all the saints of the church. It is greater than all the patriarchs in the service and all the monks in the contemplative life. The martyrs occupy the number one position but the question is why?
