When your pilgrimage ends in giving your life to Christ as a martyr
The Christians of Egypt have defied ISIS and given the world a powerful example of what it means to profess faith in Jesus Christ.
Last week, a large group of Christians in Egypt went on pilgrimage to the monastery of St. Samuel the Confessor. The Christian families — grandparents, parents, and children — boarded the bus along with two other vehicles for a weekend of renewal at this spiritual oasis with the monks in the Egyptian desert.
