St. Mary's Coptic Orthodox Church to Hold Vigil for Martyrs in Libya

St. Mary's Coptic Orthodox Church in Colleyville will be holding a candle light vigil from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. for the 21 Egyptian Christians killed by ISIS in Libya.

The church will be accepting donations for the families in Egypt.

ISIS released a video beheading the 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians Sunday Feb. 15. Vatican Radio reports that Pope Tawadros II, the leader of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, announced that the names of these martyrs will be added to the Coptic Synaxarium, which is the Coptic Church's version of the Roman Martyrology.

St. Mary's Coptic Orthodox Church is located at 1110 John McCain Road in Colleyville.
