Dear Friends,

Can someone help me put together a greeting for a Coptic Orthodox Christian.

My wife and I recently sold our house.
We met the buyers last week. They are from Sudan and are Coptic Orthodox.
I believe that the buyer's father is a Coptic Orthodox priest. He also came to bless our house. He was dressed in a full cassock and was wearing one of the most beautiful and ornate pectoral crosses I've ever seen. I chatted with them briefly and told them that my wife Jackie and Ava were also Orthodox. When we were upstairs I asked Father for a blessing for Ava. He did so in Arabic. The whole family looked so happy.

I am planning on leaving them a card congratulating them on their new home as well as something with a wishing of continued blessings.

Can anyone help me,

Thanks.

Brad
