St. Mary's Living Presence

St. Mary didn’t fade away after her death—she has appeared in dreams and visions to show her care for us! During her life, Zosimas saw her miracles, like levitating and walking on water, and others have felt her presence since. Some Ethiopian monks say they’ve seen her radiant in prayer during Lenten nights, guiding them to pray harder. A story from Ethiopia tells of a monk who dreamed Mary encouraged him to keep going. Her story was shared by Sophronius to inspire us all.

These stories aren’t just old tales—Coptic families hear how she helps in tough times, like a guiding light. In Ethiopia, they call her “Maryam Gäbäṣäwit,” like a star of repentance. She stands holy and strong in visions, reminding us God is with her. It’s wonderful for kids—she’s a holy saint who’s truly alive in heaven!
