The Martyrdom of St. Abba Shenoute, during the Early Arab Rule.
Today Marks The Martyrdom of St. Abba Shenoute, during the Early Arab Rule.
This day also, marks the martyrdom of St. Shenouda. He was a righteous man, keeping the Christian commandments. That was in the early days of the Arab conquest of Egypt. Some of his enemies laid an accusation against him before the Moslem ruler. He brought him and asked him to leave his faith but he refused, and proudly declared his faith in the Lord Christ. The ruler became enraged, tortured him, and finally cut off his head, and he received the crown of martyrdom.
May his blessings be with us all Amen.
