Our Saints
| St Mary |
 |
 |
 |
St Mary has a unique importance and role in the line of saints venerated by the Christian churches. She is the one who borne the God when He took flesh. While Mary was betrothed to Joseph, an angel visited her and told her that Holy Spirit would come on her, she would become pregnant and give birth to a child who will be called 'the Son of God'.
| St Thomas |

St Thomas was one of the twelve Apostles of Jesus
Christ. He was also called Didymos, which mean 'twin' because of the
paired fingers of his hand. The Bible portrays him as a man of bravery
and strong attachment to his Teacher. Jesus made the revelation that
'I'm the way, the truth and the life' (St. John 14:6) as an answer to
the question of St Thomas. After his resurrection, when Jesus appeared
before his apostles, St Thomas was not present there. When his
colleagues told him later that they saw Jesus, he was reluctant to
believe that. |

St. George was born in Cappadocia, in a noble
Christian family. It is believed that when his father died, he moved to
Palestine, his mother's country of origin. He held an important post in
the Roman army - the rank of tribune, or perhaps colonel in modern terms
- during the reign of the Emperor Diocletian (AD 245-313). Dioclesian
was a great persecution of Christians (from about 302 AD) and when the
persecutions began George put aside his office and complained personally
to the Emperor about the harshness of his decrees and the cruelties
against Christians. |
