Pope Tawadros II, Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of Saint Mark See, has perfumed the remains of St. Bishoy in Syrian Monastery at his feast.
It’s worth mentioning that Saint Bishoy is known in the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria as the Star of the Desert and the Beloved of our Good Savior. He is an Egyptian desert father who is said to have seen Jesus and that his body is preserved to the present day in incorruptibility at the Monastery of Saint Bishoy at the Nitrian Desert, Egypt.
He is venerated by the Oriental Orthodox Churches and the Eastern Orthodox Churches, and is known in the latter under the Greek version of his name, Paisios.
