Questions about St. Mark the Evangelist

mike_henain

Hey guys, I have some questions and I need help:

What did St. Mark do to end idolatry (worshipping idols) and Greek teachings in Alexandria??

How were parts of St. Mark's body returned to Egypt?? How long was his body away from Egypt??

Where was his body in the meantime??

St. Paul held two thoughts about the Apostle, St. Mark, what were they??

What was the miracle that proved that it is the body of St. Mark in Alexandria??

What is the story behind the money paid annualy to St. Mark Cathedral in Alexandria by the state? Why is it paid??

How many Popes were named "Mark"?


Please help if u can,

May St. Mark's blessings be with us all. Amen.

Hi all

"St.Mark the Evangelist" by H.H. Pope Shenoda III?http://tasbeha.org/content/hh_books/Stmark/index.html

Hi Shamas,

I did already read that book and it doesn't answer these questions.

Hi defender

I read the book long time ago. I think I should re-read it again and also search in other resources to know your questions.
Thank you

I think i could help here, but dont take my word for everything. lol.
well, for ur first question defender, the way St. Mark ended idolatry (worshipping idols) and Greek teachings in Alexandria was by having many people started believing in Jesus Christ mostly becuase of the miracles St.Mark did in Alexandira.

For the second question, i believe, but not really postive, that St.Mark's relics were taken to the Byzanitne empire and they were just returned to us during the papcy of H.H. Pope Kyrillios the III. the video clip of that is available on the site under media, under videos (sorry, couldn't get the link).

"St. Paul held two thoughts about the Apostle, St. Mark, what were they??" I only know of one that was when St.Paul and St. Barnabas couldn't agree on who to take with them when continuing their journy and where to go. St.Paul didnt want to take St.Mark. sorry dont remember y.

thats all i know. hope this helped

Aslo great video clip at: http://www.zeitun-eg.org/

St. Mark also established the great School of Alexandria to teach Theology and Christian philosophy to couterpart the Greek philosophy.

Good Luck and God bless
