We ask you, urgently: don’t scroll past this
Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources—essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.Help Now >

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Probably sometime late last year, Coptic Christians in Egypt took to the streets and joined in chanting the Nicene Creed. The prayer is an act of defiance towards terrorist groups such as ISIS that have recently targeted Christians in Egypt.
Coptic Christians are Egypt's largest minority, with about 4 million people following the faith. Unfortunately, they are often persecuted by terrorists and by the nations' Muslim government.
The video shows Coptic Christians chanting the Creed sometime in 2016, likely around December. The video was unassumingly posted to YouTube and has now been re-posted several times.
Hopefully, the video inspires each of us to be proud of our faith and to redouble our efforts to make peace with all people.
