Martyrs of Nag Hammadi

Coptic Christians Martyred in Nag Hammadi

        On Christmas Eve (January 6th, 2010), the heavens received the souls of eight Coptic martyrs who were murdered along with one muslim guard in a drive-by shooting in the district of Qina, Nag Hammadi. May the Lord comfort their families and the church in Egypt and may their prayers be with us. Amen.
