My favourite is St.Mary. She has been extremely sincere towards my family and a good family friend. Then theres Anba Kirellous. Again, he's really "quick" in answering prayers. When I see the miracles he performs until now for my family, I only regret I'm not so close to him as my parents, but I really like him.
I used to like St. George...A LOT!! We had about 2 miracles from him (He could well have done more, but all I remember was 2 that were just spectacular). They were life savers. I mean , really life savers. Everyone was shocked by what he did.. but again, we've lost some contact with him (well.. I have).
I don't know about u, but when I see miracles that are kind of spectacular, i get so scared, it just worries me.
I loved the story of anba aresenious. I found this man very wise. We are not close or anything.. My parents don't know about him nor his story, but you should read it if you get a chance.
Was I meant to chose 1 from the above pictures??
The others we are close to are : Abu Sefein (That's a brilliant story, and a marvellous saint), Saint Mina, Sainte Demiana (she's PERFECT), there's St. Michael. He's probably the one I am closest to right now.
May their prayers be with us
God Bless
St Augustine, St Moses the Black and St Mina

Not that I know of, no. But I simply admire each one of them (along with many other saints), but I think St Augustine and St Moses the Black are such beautiful examples of the Lord's love and forgiveness and on how humans can really change... St Mina is the first saint I really got to know and I absolutely LOVE visiting his monastery in Mariout, Egypt...
But if any of you has encountered any miracles with any of the saints, plz share them..
God Bless
Please pray for me

St. Luke, the beloved physician. I am becoming a doctor, and I find his gospel moving because of my bias towards other doctors lol. I eagerly hope for his blessings along my vocation, like him, to be an "evangelist" by example, and a physician. And he was called beloved by the great Apostle Paul-so he must have attained true holiness that was so radiant. Of course, tradition maintains that he was quite the Artist and Historian. He obviously intertwined his many talents to advance the Gospel- a formidable role model for those who have been blessed by God from birth with many talents, and a great call for us to use those talents for the Church. He was quite close, I gather, to our Holy immaculate Mother, and even drew a picture of her. It seems that in times forth, he is the first iconblast/iconophile- something I think we owe a great depth of gratitude, for truly the icons of the Church are windows to the glory of Heaven.
Hi Clay,
That's was really moving. Did you hear of the Coptic Medical Association? You should really get involved with this. They are based in the UK. I can give you, or anyone else who is a COptic Doctor, their address. Well, they definately all have the same aspirations as you and do amazing things to help poor people who are ill (mainly in Egypt -as far as I know). dude, their budget is around 500,000 GBP a year :).. if u are interested, PM me. I think u should definately sign up with them and get the newsletter.

A freind told me that St.Moses the Strong once came to somebody in their dream and told them that He didn't like being called "The Black" but prefered being called "The Strong" or something like that...
St. Mary: She is the Perfect example of the Perfect Mother. She has so much love. God's Grace is with Her and She will freely share it with those who but ask.
St. Stephanos: Probably because he is the first Holy Martyr. His Church in ET is very mysterious. Not a place you just stroll through; some run.....don't ask :).
St. Giorgis: He is alway's ready for a good fight for a good cause. And even after his brutal martydom, he still fights on victorious in Christ Jesus Our Lord and Savior.
St. Anthony: Another fighter. I admire people who are not afraid to meet the Devil head on armed with God's armour of Faith. He fought and taught
St. Michael: St. Gebriel's 'fighting' partner. He is alwys there. Fighting for humanity.
St. Giorgis: He is alway's ready for a good fight for a good cause. And even after his brutal martydom, he still fights on victorious in Christ Jesus Our Lord and Savior.
.
Has st. George done any miracles for you?
My favourite saint is Archangel Michael.
Congratulations, its was his feast recently. I hope he fights for you.

I'm always in some battle or the other and St. Giorgis has helped me through many.
I forgot, St. Macarious: who teaches not to be surprised when people who do not repent of evil while they are young get even more evil as they get older.
St. Elisabet: who i am named after. Who constantly reminds that that our bodies are God's temple and should be respected and honored as such.
and St. Raguel: who's Church I was taken to to pray for my needs. Who showed me that it is best to pray 'God's will be done' because we do not always pray for the right things.
Tamav Irenie is not a Saint. At least not yet.
To be a official Saint in our church you have to have a council deciding it at least 50 years after her death. That's why on my post I wrote
St. (Not yet) Abba Kyollos.
Don't get me wrong she is most likely a saint is paradise. On earth we just can't decide for sure until 50 years after death.
Tamav probably will be a saint though. ;D
God Bless,
Copt Andrew
St Mary
Anba Karas....(im named after him)
Anba Anthony
Anba Paul
Anba Beshowy
St Abanoub
St Mina
St George
St Philopateer
St Mark (patron of my church)
A canonical saint, I believe, has a different criteria, and this fact should be delineated from the usage in the Bible, even if they overlap.
St. Bashnouna El Makari
Pope Kyrillos
St. Barsoum the Naked
St. Mina
Sts. Anthony and Paul
Sts. Bishoy and Paul
Anba Abraam
Abouna Mikhail El Beheiry
Saint Samuel the Confessor
Archangel Raphael
