The Feast of Nayrouz (Coptic New Year) and The Victorious Church

One of the blessings I enjoyed in the early 1950s, thanks to some of the
zealous priests and servants (most of whom have departed from this world) is
the Feast of Nayrouz (the beginning of the Coptic new year) which is the feast
of the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Victorious church. The church who lives in
continuous victory over Satan and all the powers of darkness and their
temptations, protecting us from falling into despair when confronted with the
desires of the body and the world. In this, we ignore our abilities alone but
rather we joyfully sing to Christ from the bottom of our hearts: “I can do all
things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)
