601- Who is the Christian?

 

St-Takla.org Image: A Coptic young man in contemplation, beside Church domes, crosses, angels, bells, with the words "Agios" (Holy) in Coptic language. صورة في موقع الأنبا تكلا: رجل قبطي (شاب، فتى) في حالة تأمل، وبجانبه قباب كنائس وصلبان وملائكة وأجراس، مع كلمات قدوس "آجيوس" باللغة القبطية، تسبيح.

A preacher used to draw the listeners’ attention with asking in a loud voice, “Who is the Christian?” As he repeated the question several times, a child whispered in his mother’s ears, “Do you know who the Christian is?”

She answered calmly, “Yes dear, keep calm.”

As the preacher asked the same question, the child leapt screaming first to his mother, “Tell him Mom.” Then, he said to the preacher, “Mom knows who is the Christian. Keep calm dear.”
