An attempt to storm the building is stopped. The church is a place of pilgrimage for Christians and Muslims because of an apparition of the Virgin Mary Cairo (AsiaNews / Agencies) - Egypt's churches came under attack once again yesterday when a procession of students linked to the Muslim Brotherhood attacked the church of the Virgin Mary in Zaytoun , in the eastern part of Cairo, which marks the site of a famous apparition of Our Lady . The group - which came directly from Friday prayers in the mosque next door - clashed with some young Christians, who prevented the Islamists from storming the building. Thanks to the intervention of some passers-by, who calmed the brawl, a more serious incident of violence was avoided, but the situation remains tense. On 20 October last 5 people were killed in an attack on the Church of the Virgin Mary in Al- Warraq . The Zaytoun attack was filmed and posted online. The video shows the Islamists marching on the place of worship, shouting slogans against the Coptic Orthodox Patriarch Tawadros . On arriving in the square in front of the Church they are seen tearing down a banner from the front of the church and covering the façade with graffiti insulting the patriarch, the Copts and the Armed Forces . Local sources said that every Friday after the midday prayer, the Islamists always pass in front of the church hurling insults and anti-Christian slogans . To avoid problems Christians bar the doors of the building. Near the church there is the el- Aziz Bellah mosque, whose faithful militate in the ranks of the Muslim Brotherhood. Yesterday, Zaytoun district police arrested a man who had over well 108 thousand posters insulting Christians and the army hidden in his home. As is the case with the church of the Virgin Mary in al- Waaraq, the Zaytoun church is famous throughout Egypt for a miracle: on June 2, 1968 Our Lady appeared on the dome. From then on , the place became a pilgrimage site for Christians and Muslims .
The solar eclipse going on at the moment, the red moon to occur soon, the icon of St Michael dripping tears on Rhodes. Surely something colossal is just about to happen.
I dropped some prayer intentions recently to make room for others, I have now realized that I should not be dropping them but just adding more. Prayer and Mass should be the most important uses of my time. Dear Lord Jesus Christ please bring peace to the world. Amen. Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host - by the Divine Power of God - cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits, who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. Behold the Cross of the Lord! Flee ye adversaries! The Lion of the Tribe of Juda, The Root of David has conquered, alleluia!
I think The Lord, in HIS time, as great plans for Egypt. Things there right now appear to be falling into place as Isaiah prophesied in a Chapter 19 http://www.drbo.org/chapter/27019.htm
Add to the above the latest message to Pelianito posted yesterday which begins "“Beloved, you do not know what is about to befall the earth. Cling to nothing but me and my Mother." http://pelianito.stblogs.com/2013/1...ll-is-within-the-sphere-of-divine-providence/
I wonder is there any significance to this eclipse. It ran from east cost USA across North Africa and southern Europe today. http://earthsky.org/tonight/total-solar-eclipse-for-equatorial-africa-on-november-3 Check out some of the pictures.
