    New question- Which martyr was a priest in the 7th century in Old Cairo?
    Hint: He was burned to death

    My second hint is that he was a monk from the monastery of abu makar. Also, they buried him in the church of Abu Sarga in Old Cairo.


    could it be St. Bashnouna????
  • finally Kerestina, you got it. I was wondering, did one of my clues not fit his life story?
  • 3. On this day also, of the year 880 A.M. (May 19th, 1164 A.D.), St. Bashnouna was martyred. He was a monk in St. Macarius (Abu Maquar) monastery. During the fighting between the men of prince Dergham and the men of El-Wazir Shawer in the Fatimid rule, the monk was arrested. He was threatened with death if he did not convert to Islam, but he refused. They burned him alive, and he received the crown of martyrdom. The faithful took his bones and carried them to the church of Abu Serga in Old Cairo, in the place of wax, and they buried him there. May his prayers be with us, and glory be to God forever. Amen.

    truee.....but kep thinking
  • minagir, is the third one eid il rosol?
  • Marmara, eid el rosol is different then feast of the martyrs. In english Eid el rosol is Apostles Feast, and that doesn't have to be on Thursday. Feast of the martyrs is El Nayrooz and i'm almost 100% sure it doesn't have to be on a thursday.

    PK
  • ooooops. = /

    I;m not getting this sorry because I checked on saitmina-holmdel.org under synexarium. We are in the coptic year of 1723, I switched it to The coptic year of 1724 or 2008, and abib 5 is a saturday?
  • actually now am not really sure. i just know that everytime we do a laqan in that feast, it's on a thursday.
  • Mina, maybe your thoughts are straying to Covenant thursday because that's another thursday with a laqan.
  • So, if its not the Apostles feast, then does anyone know what it is? Or are there just two? 
  • isnt it the day when Judas sold Christ to the jews, sorry i forgot the name of the feast, and i might be wrong...
