POPE KYRILLOS VI & THE VIRGIN MARY ! |
" The Lord took notice of the lowliness of His lord-slave…… the Almighty has done great things for me……. He dethroned princes and lifted up the lowly " . |
|
Pope Kyrillos VI’s relationship with the Virgin Mary goes back to his childhood , when our LADY honored his family’s home by Her visit to a sick member of the family .
|
There is no doubt that this relation was still strong during his monastic life and the hole duration of his leadership of the church . And finally she honored his leadership time with Her appearance on the Zeitoun Church in Egypt .
|
Saint KYRILLOS predicted several times about the time of Her apparition , Winifred Cook , a reporter from the New Jersey Newspaper wrote in the issue of May 9th 1970 , what was told by Pearl - an American lady married to an Egyptian professor Dr. George Zaki . This lady was in Cairo for a visit . When she heard about the Virgin's apparition , she decided to go and see for herself ."
|
She kept on going to the church for four nights and every time she would stay for more than four hours in prayers and worship without seeing anything . On the fifth night , she decided to go and visit the pyramids , then she heard that the Virgin appeared . The American lady was very sad and went to meet Pope KYRILLOS VI who comforted her saying : " YOU WILL SEE HER TONIGHT " . The lady went to the church of Zietoun and at 4 o’clock in the morning , 4000 people started cheering and rejoicing the appearance of the Virgin Mary .
