This is a still from the video put out by the Islamic butchers who did this in the name of the false prophet and antichrist Mahomet. Note the translation: "The people of the cross, the followers of the hostile Egyptian Church." That's rich. The Coptic Church was founded by St. Mark the Evangelist. Egypt was Christian before Rome!
A contact in Syria watched the whole video.
It will comfort you to know that as they were being slaughered they could be heard praying the Lords Prayer and shouting out "Ya Yassou'a" -- Oh Jesus!
Pope Francis has issued a statement:
Speaking in Spanish to an ecumenical delegation from the
Church of Scotland, the Holy Father noted those killed only said “Jesus help
me.”
“They were murdered just for the fact they were Christians,”
Pope Francis said.
“The blood of our Christian brothers is a witness that cries
out,” said the Pope. “If they are
Catholic, Orthodox, Copts, Lutherans, it is not important: They are Christians.
The blood is the same: It is the blood which confesses Christ.''
Pope Francis said that in remembering “these brothers who
have been killed simply for confessing Christ,” Christians should encourage one
another in the ecumenical goal, noting the “ecumenism of blood.”
“The martyrs are from all the Christians,” he said.
