Today, on the fifth Sunday of the Glorious Cross, the Maronite Church across the world lifts up its voice and sings this hymn. Let us all join in prayer that we may find our shelter in the shadow of the cross. #maronite #prayer #thecross

On 7 October we celebrate the feast of Mar Sarkis and Bakhos. They lived in the fourth century, at a time when Christians were being persecuted. They were Roman soldiers held high in Galerius’ army on the Syrian frontier. They were exposed as Christians when they refused to enter a pagan temple and worship. They were humiliated by being dragged through the city in chains and made to wear women’s clothing. They were encouraged to renounce Christianity, but they refused and their torture continued. Bakhos died from being lashed. He appeared to Sarkis and encouraged him to remain strong. Sarkis was continually tortured and later sentenced to death on October 7. Mar Sarkis and Bakhos are well venerated in the Maronite Church. Mar Sarkis and Bakhos show us a true image of friendship. They remained faithful together and even through death, Bakhos continued to support Sarkis through his torture.
