We therefore present an offering and rational worship; We send unto you this day psalmodies for Your glory O our Saviour. Hananiah, Azariah and Mishael.

When they were raised to take glory in their bodies, the angel came down, stopped the fire and became cool for Hananiah, Azariah and Mishael.

They bless the Lord - the three in the midst of the fiery furnace, and the fire did not overcome them for the angel of the Lord was in their midst; He saved them and he did not leave any evil to reach them. Hananiah, Azariah and Mishael.

Afterward, we partake from His holy mysteries, proclaiming and saying, "Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, who gave us His grace", have compassion on our ignorance. Hananiah, Azariah and Mishael.

They praise and bless God at all times!

“In His hometown of Qallin (in the north of Egypt), the believers had a tradition where they celebrated group weddings for their sons and daughters. While they were together celebrating their weddings in St Eskhyron’s Church in Qallin, some evildoers surrounded the church planning to kill everyone inside. The congregation asked for the intercessions of the Mighty Saint, who miraculously transported the entire church with its people, their camels, a tree and the well to another village called Biho (in the south of Egypt), which is where the church still exists today.”

11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.

13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. 14 And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth. 15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb. 16 And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God. 17 He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

18 And Zacharias said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years.”

19 And the angel answered and said to him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and was sent to speak to you and bring you these glad tidings. 20 But behold, you will be mute and not able to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words which will be fulfilled in their own time.”

21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marveled that he lingered so long in the temple. 22 But when he came out, he could not speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, for he beckoned to them and remained speechless.

23 So it was, as soon as the days of his service were completed, that he departed to his own house. 24 Now after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying, 25 “Thus the Lord has dealt with me, in the days when He looked on me, to take away my reproach among people.”

26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”

29 But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. 30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. 33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”

34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”

35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. 36 Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. 37 For with God nothing will be impossible.”

38 Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

“Saint Theodore joined the army and advanced in the ranks until He became one of the great generals during the reign of Emperor Lucianus. The people of the city of Eukhitos worshipped a great serpent, and offered to him a human sacrifice every year. While St Theodore was passing through this district, He saw a woman crying bitterly. He asked her about the reason for her crying. She answered Him saying, ‘I am a widow and they have taken my two sons to offer them as a sacrifice to the serpent, although I am a Christian.’ He said to Himself, ‘They have wronged this woman, but God shall avenge her.’ He came down from His horse, and turned Hi face towards the East and prayed, then drew near the serpent. The people of the city were watching Him from the tops of the walls of the city. The serpent was fourteen cubits long, but God gave Him power over it, and He speared it with His spear and killed it, and delivered the sons of the widow.”

“A malicious demon, beholding that his servant, Olymbrios, could not vanquish one young woman and make Her fall down before the idols of demons, became desperate and wished to test Her himself. Taking on a dark and dragon-like guise, a demon appeared to Marina in the prison to frighten Her. Fearlessly Christ's athlete seized him by the hair and, finding a hammer, beat him to the ground, completely humbling him. A great light appeared and illuminated the entire prison. All of Marina's wounds were completely healed and not even a trace of scarring remained on Her body. It is for this reason that Saint Marina often holds a hammer and is sometimes depicted beating on a demon in Her icons. Saint Marina is especially invoked for deliverance from spiritual and carnal ailments, such as demonic possession and cures innumerable diseases including cancer.”

It was Saint Mary Magdalene's great love for Christ that kept Her standing at the foot of the Cross, weeping and grief stricken, until Her Saviour died. It was Her heartbreaking pain of loss that drove Her to his tomb at the first light of day in order to anoint His body. As a reward for Her great love and faithfulness, She is the privileged person to whom Jesus first appeared to Very early Sunday Morning; She was the very first witness of the Resurrection. It was Saint Mary Magdalene, a woman, who went and told the Apostles that Jesus is risen from the dead; for this She is called "Apostle to the Apostles." After Jesus' Resurrection and Ascension, the Magdalene continued Her mission as an Evangelizer, Disciple and Deaconess in the heart of the Church. According to tradition, after Jesus' Ascension into Heaven, the Magdalene a wealthy woman of some importance— boldly presented Herself to the Emperor Tiberius Caesar in Rome to proclaim the resurrection of the King of Kings Jesus Christ, with an egg in hand to illustrate Her message. Holding the egg out to him, She exclaimed for the first time what is now the universal Easter proclamation among Christians,
"XPICTOC ANECTH!" - "Christ is risen!" The emperor, mocking Her, said that Jesus had no more chance to have risen more than the egg in Her hand would turn red. Immediately, the egg turned red as a sign from God to illustrate the truth of Her testimonial. The Emperor then heeded Her complaints about Pilate condemning an innocent man to death, and removed him from Jerusalem under imperial displeasure. This is one of the many reasons we have an egg hanging above the Altar Veil in the Coptic Orthodox Church.
