Treasures and Stories

Pope Kyrillos VI’s belongings, like his prayer book and vestments, are relics—holy treasures linked to his intercession through Christ. At Saint Mina Monastery, his prayer rope, worn smooth by years of midnight prayers, rests in a glass case. One tale says a mother in 1980 touched it to her feverish son’s forehead, praying fervently. Through Kyrillos’ intercession, guided by Christ, her son's fever broke and he recovered by morning, leaving doctors amazed. At Saint Mark’s Cathedral, his wooden cross is cherished. One tale says a worker in 1995, burdened by debt, held it during a service, and, through God’s grace, found a job soon after.

These relics are signs of God’s grace through Kyrillos’ intercession, not magic. Copts treasure them like cherished family treasures, each linked to miracles. In Coptic communities, relics like a blessed cloth inspire faith. Children at Mariut touch his prayer book, praying for help with school or fears. One tale says a girl in 2018 prayed with his robe, and her headaches faded, her smile shining with joy. For kids, relics are a sign of God’s care, warm and real.

These relics inspire hope. Kids can pray near them, trusting God’s healing through Kyrillos’ intercession, knowing his faith still points to Christ’s love.
