Saints Banners: Examples of Holiness for Every Child

February 11, 2022 · Milestone 14 of 39

We adorned the church walls with banners of the saints, bringing the beauty and spirit of our Coptic Orthodox tradition into our place of worship.

Father Andrew made sure that equal numbers of female and male saints were represented. Through their examples, we wanted our boys and girls to recognize that God calls each of them to holiness. The saints remind our children that a life of faith, courage, purity, and love is possible for every one of them.

The three photographs from February 11, 2022, preserve this beautiful addition to our church—a visible reminder that we belong to a family of saints and share in the same calling to follow Christ.

But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct.

1 Peter 1:15
