Detail of a khatchkar at the Sevanavank Monastery. The monastery of Sevan, which stands on what was once an island of the same name, can be dated to the 9th-10th centuries.

st.ammon hermit of nitria.. THIS great saint was born in Egypt of a rich and noble family. At the age of twenty-two years his tutors and trustees obliged him to marry, in the year 308; but, on the day of his marriage, he read to his wife what St. Paul has written in commendation of the holy state of virginity, by which she was easily persuaded to consent to their making a mutual vow of perpetual continence. They lived together eighteen years under the same roof in perfect continency;
icon on ceiling of saint antony church
Coptic art from the 13th through the 15th century is well preserved in the Church of St. Anthony.

The Sanctuary the 24 Elders at St Paul old Church in St Paul Monastery, Red Sea. Egypt
Unidentifiable warrior saint killing a dragon. Faras Cathedral (9th-10th century). He wears an armour in Byzantine style. It is hard to say if one can interpret this painting as a proof for linothorax armour in (early) Medieval Nubia or if the artist just copied the motive from a Byzantine painting. Also note the (for Nubians) unusual shield.

The Gift that Perfects Will - God is My Strength. Fr. Bede Jarrett
This gift is fortitude, which, as we have already stated in general terms, must be carefully distinguished from the virtue of fortitude. This gift is entirely under the direction of God and excludes altogether on my part any action at all in the operation of the gift. This exclusion of all cooperation seems harder perhaps to understand when the will is in question, as it is in the gift of fortitude. It seems altogether impossible to imagine that God can direct the will and yet that it should…
