  • A Hidden Saint in Plain Sight

    Saint Abd el-Masih al-Manahry lived in Egypt in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His name means “Servant of Christ,” and he embodied it completely.

    He was not a monk.

    He was not a priest.

    He worked as a simple government employee and lived quietly among ordinary people. Yet those who knew him remembered his constant prayer, deep humility, and unwavering compassion for the poor.

    He attended church faithfully, fasted rigorously, and gave away much of his income to those in need. He avoided attention and spoke little about spiritual matters, preferring to let his actions preach.

    Friends later recalled that he often spent long hours standing before icons, whispering prayers for the sick and forgotten.

    He lived hidden.

    But heaven was watching.

    Arrest and Martyrdom

    During a period of violent persecution, Saint Abd el-Masih was arrested because of his Christian faith. He was pressured to renounce Christ.

    He refused.

    Authorities tortured him severely, attempting to force conversion. Despite intense suffering, he remained peaceful and steadfast, repeating the name of Jesus.

    Finally, he was executed for his confession of Christ, sealing his life with martyrdom.

    To the world, his death appeared small and unnoticed.

    To heaven, it was a victory.

    A River of Miracles Begins

    Almost immediately after his martyrdom, people began experiencing extraordinary healings through his intercession.

    The sick prayed in his name and recovered.

    Those with advanced cancers reported tumors shrinking or disappearing.

    Paralyzed individuals began walking.

    Children with incurable conditions improved suddenly.

    Doctors documented cases they could not explain.

    Saint Abd el-Masih became widely known across Egypt as a healer of “hopeless cases.”

    Pilgrims began traveling from across the country to pray at churches bearing his icon. Written testimonies accumulated by the thousands. Physicians acknowledged unexplained recoveries. Families returned year after year in gratitude.

    He had lived quietly.

    But God glorified him loudly.

    Today, Saint Abd el-Masih stands among the most sought-after modern intercessors in the Coptic Christian world, especially for cancer, terminal illness, and impossible medical situations.

  • Saint Abd el-Masih al-Manahry is especially invoked for physical healing when all other options have been exhausted.

    Patron Saint Of:

    Children born with severe conditions showed sudden improvement.

    Some who had been told they would not survive more than weeks lived for many years afterward.

    Many faithful testify that Saint Abd el-Masih appears in dreams, offering reassurance or instruction before healing occurs.
