St-Takla.org Image: Zacchaeus on a tree, and Jesus talking to him. صورة في موقع الأنبا تكلا: زكا العشار والسيد المسيح يتحدث معه، وهو فوق شجرة جميز.

Ben, a thirteen-year-old boy, suffered from brain cancer for about four years which ended with reposing on 14 December, 1997. A short time before his reposal, he wrote a short poem and presented it to his mother:

 

So have a merry Christmas

And wipe away that tear.

Remember I am spending Christmas

With Jesus Christ this year.

 

Ben
