 Welcome back home dear Pope Shenouda III. Your face is graced with the sweet countenance of piety. Your eyes instinctively turn upwards towards heavens above in prayer and supplication. Your Holiness, the very embodiment of devoutness, draws strength from the staff decorated with ancient Coptic icons. We, Christian and Muslim alike, wish you the best of health and long life. You are, after all, especially dear to us, and prerequisite for national unity. parent page (23 - 29 October 2008, issue #919) |
