The Child Martyr
Deceitful and feeble as human body is, the diligence thru the endurance of the suffering, tribulations and trail in living spiritual life and being Christians is significant. The scarification of the true witnesses of the True Lord, by their scarification for the true faith and Orthodox Religion has a special place.
Abidance to the Lord!
The good will of mankind is what enables the obedience and the abidance to the Lord. Unfortunate though, the evil thought and desire of man has brought betrayal and defiant of God’s law and commandment resulting in the prosecution of human race.
Feasts of Circumcision
It was in the Old Testament that circumcision started by our Father Abraham. God’s pupil who lived back then were differentiated from gentiles and endowed honor by the Liturgy of Circumcision. That was like baptism for them. (Leviticus 12:3)

It is also a must to attend the Church in commemorating the day in Glory and Honor of the Lord by praising, veneration, prayer and in celebration of God’s work. Through the Lord’s suffering and crusixifcation. He came down and wore mankind’s flesh and blood by being born from Holy Mother Saint Virgin Mary, for the salvation of human race.
Dear Children of God! if you remember we have seen about the meaning of pictures, holy icons, the color we use to paint them and their mystery. On this section, we will see about the miracles done by Pictures of salvation.
The Good Shepherd
The Ransom and Redeemer of this world, our Good Shepherd Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, is one Who leads us in life. It is in scripted as “ I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd give His life for the sheep.” (John 10:11)
The Plant of Religion!
The marvelous work of the creator made the image and likeliness of Mankind, bonding his existence with the imprinting of religion that is our life’s base. The foundation of any spirituality is religion. It is to have faith in God and living in faith of Him. Our Saints father and mothers in creed of this mystery, shone like crystal by their miraculous work, triumphing by their fight, who are true witness of God finale inheriting the Kingdom of Heaven. We thus venerate them in our Holy Church.
“I am for peace” (Psalm 120:7)
There is no inner state humans crave for more than peace of mind. The core of our conscience is based on the stability of our peace. Volatility of it derives chaos and insecurity both mentally and physically. As it is in scripted, peace is “a state of quiet or tranquility; freedom from disturbance or agitation; applicable to society, to individuals, or to the temper of the mind.” (The King James Version)
