FAVORITE SAINT
Who is your favorite saint... and why???
Comments
any1 remember that?
st George.
i've learned so much from him and keep learing more! he's always been there for me and man does he ever put up with my constant nagging for his intersession on everything!
as well a story that has inspired me is that of st. marina the monk, her story of humilty and love has totally kept me in awe and i really look up to her!
all saints are great in their own way and connect with us in their own way :D
now this may sound odd but he was my
favorite for as long as i can remember, however
i never knew anything about him or even knew
his name lol.
as i got older i loved him more and more, and i always yearned to learn about him and his story. So far, thanks to friends ive managed to learn loads, ive read many many books, each sweet, when i hear storys about him i become so happy. If anyone knows any cool ones, let me know!
my other favorite saints include:st mina and st. anthony
Rina ;)
reminds me of the " Hectic 5 " thread.
any1 remember that?
st George.
yup good old times ;D
St. Filopatir Mercurius (no, not St Matthew lol)
We learn a lot from each saint, and that is one of the reasons why I LOVE our Orthodox ‎church. She gives you examples to follow and saints that can inspire you. Each saint is Distinct ‎in his or her virtues and the lessons we can learn from them. They each send a unique ‎message to us today that are both comforting and inspirational.
Keep these saints coming. If you can just also mention something about the life of that saint, ‎one of his attributes or characteristics so we may learn something about him or her as well.
‎
I will start.
My Favorite saint was a monk for 3 years then he became a martyr. He was born to a rich ‎parents who didn't have any children. His mother was praying in front of the Icon of St. Mary, ‎asking to be given a Son, She heard a voice call out from the Icon saying "Amen" 3 times. ‎This is where he got his name from. He was an excellent soldier in the roman army, he later ‎left to be a Monk for 3 years, then he came back to receive the crown of Martyrdom. He was ‎later dubbed, the wonder worker.
‎
Any Guesses? Well He is Saint Mina. Keep your saints coming though. I LOVE them all.‎

Maria
my favorite saint is st.moses the black becuase his story showed how ou can change no matter hw bad you are
LOL... and he was black right?... lol.. sorry I had to get that out...lol
definitely my favorite...we just have this connection, he made too many life-saving miracles for me...don't forget all you need is faith like a mustard seed. :)
Pope Kyrollos because of the way he's always staring at people in his pictures and because of the great things he does. I mean he just makes you feel like he's beside you and looking straight at you waiting for you to talk to him.
Abouna Abdelmasseih Elmanary because he is the coolest saint to ever live. I love him soo much. It's amazing how he's so natural. I look up to him so much and would never care about what people think of me.
May all the saints bless us and guide us to the true light!
i love u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well although the three holy youth have not been said I just love them. I feel that I relate to them in many aspects. Many people when they ask me who my favorite saint is and I tell them, they get surprised because not many people have Sts. Sedrak, Misak and Abdenago as their favorite saints. Right after the holy youth I am in love with Avva Antony and I really got to know his life story and my love for him was sparked when I was spending a spiritual retreat in his monastery in California. But all in all every saint has a place in my heart. [coptic]Agapy[/coptic]
