 من اقوال الاباء  

 Repentance is the renewal of baptism. Repentance is a contract  with God for a second life. A penitent  (repentant) is a buyer of humility.  Repentance is constant distrust of bodily comfort. Repentance is  Self-condemning reflection, and carefree self-care. Repentance is  the daughter of hope and the renunciation of despair. A penitent is an undisgraced convict. Repentance is reconciliation with the  Lord by the practice of good deeds contrary to the sins.

 Repentance is purification of conscience. Repentance is the  voluntary endurance of all afflictions. A  penitent is the  inflicted of his own punishments. Repentance is a mighty  Persecution of the stomach, and a  striking of the soul into  Vigorous awareness.

   St. John Climacus

   
History of the Copts of Egypt

The word Copt is derived from the Greek word Aigyptos, which was, in turn, derived from "Hikaptah", one of the names for Memphis, the first capital of Ancient Egypt. The modern use of the term "Coptic" describes Egyptian Christians, as well as the last stage of the ancient Egyptian language script. Also, it describes the distinctive art and architecture that developed as an early expression of the new faith.    .Read also :

The Holy Family in Egypt
   

It was at the time when Gaius Turranius (7 B.C. - 4 B.C.) was Roman Prefect of Egypt, that the Holy Family crossed the narrow isthmus at al-Qantara (the bridge), which separates the Lake Menzaleh from the Lake Balah. It was over this isthmus that the ancient caravan-route from Judaea to Egypt passed, a route which centuries before had been used by Abraham (Genesis 12:10) and Jacob and his sons (Genesis 16). In the steps of the patriarchs, the Holy Family entered the Province of Goshen.
By the land of Goshen (Genesis 45:10) we are to understand approximately the triangle of land which has its apex the modern town of Zagazig ..
