Christians murdered on way to visit Monastery

Post by Maria »

The ISIS militants stopped a bus carrying Coptic Christians who were on their way to a remote desert monastery that day, the Chicago Tribune reported.

This was the fourth major attack against Christians in Egypt since December, bringing the death toll to over a hundred.

Bishop Makarios, the top Coptic Orthodox cleric in Minya province, said the Christians who were killed bravely stood up to their oppressors. They were told that their lives would be spared if they converted to Islam, but they refused to renounce God.
