Archangel Michael
The Coptic Orthodox Church celebrates the commemoration of Archangel Michael
This name of his is a Hebrew name meaning “who is like God”. He is in a general manner, the commander of the angels. The Holy Church asks for his intercession in every mass, in the hymns, prayers, and songs. His feast is monthly celebrated on the twelfth of every Coptic month, and the miracles which he has operated are mentionned.
Because of the love of people for the Archangel Michael, many people are called by his name, whether in the Hebrew or in the Coptic language (Mikhail), or by his name in English (Michael), or in French (Michel). They are also called by the name of “Malak” (meaning angel), or “Abdel Malak” (meaning the servant of the angel). Many Jews in the Old Testament were also called by his name.
May his blessings be with us, Amen

Money is antithesis of God. Money is the lowest level of reality. God is the highest. Weapon is in between. Epstein is slave of money and the enemy of God.

Tens of thousands of Christian Ethiopians sing in unison to celebrate Orthodox Christmas in Addis Ababa
One of the most spectacular communal moments anywhere on Earth
The world's (second) oldest Christian country is not in the Middle East or Europe — it's Ethiopia.
There are centuries-old churches there that most people don't know about.
These were not "built", but carved directly into the rock… (thread) 🧵
If someone proved to me that Christ is outside the truth and that in reality the truth were outside of Christ, then I should prefer to remain with Christ rather than with the truth.
