Church commemorates the passing of Pope Gabriel VII, a saint whose life shaped history
The Orthodox Church commemorates the anniversary of the passing of Saint Anba Gabrielle the Seventh, the 95th Patriarch, who died in 1561 AD after a long service of approximately 43 years. He was born in Mansha'at al-Deir al-Mahrouq in Asyut and was raised in a life of monasticism and piety. He was chosen as the patriarch of the church following the death of Pope John XIII in 1518, during the conditions of the Ottoman conquest of Egypt. During his papacy, he renovated the Monasteries of Saint Anthony and Saint Paul and contributed to preserving the spiritual and monastic heritage of the Church, while promoting principles of faith, humility, and service. This commemoration reaffirms the Church's pride in the lives of its saintly predecessors and aims to draw inspiration from their values in the service of faith and the community.
