Saint Mary of Egypt pray for us!
This is the way. The way I feel like I'm not sure I've even begun to begin. Lord have mercy.
Yep, same for all of us!
Holy and Venerable Mary of Egypt, pray for us sinners!!
I have been living the same lifestyle while I am determined to give up it all. I logged into RUclips a few minutes ago and a video of St. Mary of Egypt appeared. Yes, it is a miracle to help me change my life.
That is a sign from God. I hope you make it and find peace. God bless you.
Just saw what you wrote. Today, April 1st , is the Feast Day of St. Mary of Egypt. (New calendar. The julian calendar feast day will be in about 2 weeks.)
☦💝📿💝☦
This saint is one of my favourite saints
What an amazing story! We are blessed with Saints who have come before us and left behind examples and wisdom to live a more holy life.
St Mary is a great saint for our age may she pray for us ! It’s also amazing how the church views her as a great virgin !
She's definitely one more people should know in this age!
Wait so how many virgin mary are there?
Its not the same Mary. You mustn't have watched the video. Mary of Egypt lived centuries after Mary mother of Christ.
@WiseAsSerpentsHarmlessAsDoves perhaps only 1 was living around that time and it must've been a rebirth as she lived centuries after Jesus🤔
She was venerated with the title of Virgin, similar to other women who have achieved sainthood
My favorite Saint! I love her so much❤!
I love the story of Saint Mary. It's one that really sticks with me.
I believe this saints life wss a great inspiration to Dostoyevski. In karamozov
The elder monk is named as
Zosimos who in passing refers to Saint Mary of Egypt and recommends reading her life.
In crime and punishment, the heroine goes to work
in the streets to save her starving family . The irony
is so typicalky Dostoevski.
Of course it was Mary Queen of Heaven who
saves and inspires This Mary of Egypt.
Thank you for your well done video. My kindness and blessings to you.
The brothers karamazov is so deep and enlightening, I'm glad i have found someone else who has read it and knows about the incredible chracters and profound topics of the book.
Blessings from Barcelona❤
@@lifesagiftt I bet I have read the Brothers five times in the last
50 years. It keeps coming back to me.
The Idiot as well.
Remember what Aloysha said in
the last chapter , " let us first , and above all else, be kind."
Yes it is pleasent to find a friend
who admires Dostoyevski.
Thank you for this. Truly, thank you. I've moving towards Orthodoxy and have been for a while and, for whatever reason, the life and depiction of this great saint moves me considerably. So thank you.
Is there a playlist somewhere of all the opening music yall have used? If not, there needs to be. The opening music is always so good.
That's not a bad idea! We might have to do that
I knew this story and it touch me so much when I heard from you .Salvation is a seriouse matter for true christian .God bless you .
I love you Venerable Mother. Please pray for us
oh Lord! It is my first time hearing about her history. in fact i heard her name before . WOW. Saint Marry of Egypt Pray for Us

Another great video added to my calendar for yearly viewing! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the telling of her story. Is there anything more we can learn about this woman? I want to know more about her if I can.
Bless you.
Thank you! For all of the videos on this channel, we put a bunch of links in the description to find out more! The best thing though is always to visit an Orthodox Church and chat with the priest afterwards. God bless!
Bless

Sfânta Maria Egipteanca, prezentată în Biserică ca model de pocăință.
Jesus Christ Son of GOD Have mercy on us sinners
Ok non skeptical protestant here who is learning all about the wonders of Orthodoxy - if there are any reason outside of tradition we can know these kinds of stories are true, what are they?
I’m perfectly happy to accept tradition but it can be hard to escape my Western worldview of “proof”😅
Hey Brother/sister in Christ. I don't have proof for you but I have some "evidence" or logic that you can consider: 1) Believers in Christ are generally not given to lies at the best of times, but arguably less so when it comes to spiritual/religious matters. No Christian worth their salt would lie in service to God/ to spread the word as they would know very well that service would be rejected or even considered an abomination. 2) if we shall "know them by their fruits" then we can safely say that a story like this is from God via holy people. No evil person/s would lie to knowingly put God/his people in a good light, leading people to the truth.
As I said, it's not proof but logically there is no good reason for either good or evil people to make up this kind of story or even parts of it. Probably not what you were looking for but just my 2 cents.
God bless you
Sorry, in the spirit of honesty, it occurred to me that there is one group of people I didn't consider: people who neither serve God or the devil, but just love to create a good story. Seems unlikely to me as there are other subjects and surely they would want some credit for creating a story like that, but still worth mentioning/considering!
The traditions in the Orthodox Church are very important. (Some are with capital T, others with lowercase. It is easy for others like prtnsts to dismiss it. Although questions are perfectly acceptable. (I was a prtnst.)
I am actually answering you on her April 1st Feast Day. (Gregorian calendar. Julian feast day will be in 13 days. )
One of the wonderful services during Great Lent (which the Orthodox Church is still in), is a service in the 5th week when the Great Canon (of repentance) of St. Andrew of Crete is read as well as the Life of St. Mary of Egypt. St. Sophronius, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, visited the monastery where St. Zosimas had lived, and heard the story about his meeting St. Mary which the monks had treasured and handed down. St. Sophronius wrote the story in full assurance that it was true and that he must reveal it to the world..
It is possible to order copies of the story..
All Orthodox churches will have that service, so you may be able to find one and hear the story read aloud.. in 2 parts. A long service. But wonderful..
I am not sure i answered your question, but this is what i thought of to say.
As a matter of fact, without tradition there wouldn't have been any "proof" that Jesus of Nazareth ever existed in the first place, and without tradition there would've not been much to write in the Gospel and in the epistles - unless Holy Spirit dictated (dictated, not inspirited), word by word, what they needed to write... And what evidence did the Apostles offer beside their eyewitness testimonies, or those who told about the miracles of the Apostles they saw or even experienced personally?
In Western Protestant worldview, it seems that the world history has two epochs: "Biblical age" (from creation to the trial of Paul or the exile of John basically), and "post-Biblical age". In Orthodox thinking, we are still living in the direct continuum of Biblical age. All "wonders of Orthodoxy" could have happened in the Bible, so we do not see why they couldn't happen in these days too. We have dozens eyewitnesses of the most recent saints' miracles who are still alive, and that was usually the case also in the past - the only difference is that we have social media and photographers and they didn't.
@@Peginaficationyour two cents are PURE GOLD! YOU NAILED IT
I have often thought that there is no reason to lie about such things. The demons surely don't want God or His saints to be honored. Every heresy actually diminishes the Truth of the Faith.
Anyway, GOOD WORK here!
Does anyone know where her relics are in Rome?
why did she die the next day after taking it tho?
It's not so much "she took communion and then died the next day" but rather "she took communion the day before she died". She was prepared. For more, ask your priest about this topic of sacraments! Thanks for the comment! ☦
It happens that some saints know the exact date of their death, and thus they can prepare themselves for it.
FIRST
Saint Mary of Egypt pray for us!
