St. Mena's Miracles Today

One modern tale says that during a wild Cairo storm, rain battered St. Mena’s church in Fumm al-Khalig, where children gathered for a festival. One tale says a candle by Mena’s icon flickered but stayed lit, glowing steadily despite open windows and wind. One tale says the children, wide-eyed, felt warm and safe, singing hymns as the storm passed. One tale says the priest told them, “Through Mena’s prayers, God’s light endures!”

One tale says those children call it their favorite miracle, a sign of God’s presence through Mena’s intercession. This miracle shines with Mena’s intercession, through Christ, for protection. Coptic tales tie him to enduring lights, symbols of his care. In Ethiopian stories, he’s a calm in life’s storms, steadying the faithful. For kids, this enduring light teaches that through Mena’s intercession, Christ comforts them when things feel shaky, and his miracles reflect God’s light through any darkness.
