I first read of this saintly and wonder working Coptic abbess a few years ago and would like to know more than what little is online. Perhaps there's a biography available in English? I'd love to purchase an icon too if there are any out there. She's only reposed in the last decade. Thanks for any help.

Thank you for acquainting us with this great Coptic saint!

I doubt there are any icons of her as yet but no matter - the pictures of her on the website will suffice quite nicely.

The Copts aren't as overly concerned with icons of their saints and venerated holy ones. For years, one could see photos of St Kyrillos everywhere and one could venture to say that they continue to be popular (rather than icons of him) following his Glorification.

Thank you for introducing us to her!
