Abba Epiphanius, Bishop of St. Makar monastery, was killed inside his monastery in his way to pray the morning praises. He received a treacherous hit that killed him and broke his skull.
The body was taken to Damanhour General Hospital to investigate the cause of the death. Indeed, the man who doesn t deserve to die was killed by those who don t deserve to live. I wonder who could kill such a good old man!
Unfortunately, it could be anybody which may has bad effect on the church and the homeland.
The late bishop was a modest saint and scientist and was one of the best scholars of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the field of theology. He had a good prelateship with everybody.
We call police to find out who killed the bishop and lead the culprits to a fair punishment.
My sincere condolences to all Egyptians, the Coptic Church, and all his beloved people. May the soul of the martyr bishop Epiphanius rest in peace.
