Coptic Synaxarium (Coptic Orthodox Calendar)

19 Hatur
(The Nineteenth Day of the Blessed Month of Hatour)

 

The Consecration of the Church of St. Sergius and St. Bacchus

This day marks the consecration of the church of St. Sergius and St. Bacchus in the city of Rusafa. When St. Sergius was martyred in this city, some believers carried his body, prepared it for burial, hid it in their home and lit lamps and candles before it. When the era of persecution ended, they brought the body out and a church was built in the Saint's name. Fifteen bishops and a large number of people gathered on this day and attended the consecration of the church. When the body of the Saint was brought to the church, scented oil flowed forth from it and many sick people who were anointed with it in faith were healed.

His blessings be with us. Amen.
