He was only eleven years old.
A child from Thebes, born into a world of fear — yet filled with unshakable faith.
When the empire demanded his silence, he spoke the name of Christ with a voice that could not be broken.

In this episode of Voices of the Saints, we journey into the story of St Wanas, the boy who defied an empire and won the crown of martyrdom.
Through innocence, faith, and unimaginable courage, his light still shines centuries later — reminding us that true strength can come from the smallest of hearts.

She was once known across Alexandria for her beauty and her sin.
But when every door to pleasure opened — one door refused her.
At the threshold of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, a force she could not see stopped her cold. And in that moment, everything changed.

This is the story of St Mary of Egypt — the woman who walked away from the world and found God in the wilderness.
Her journey from indulgence to holiness became one of the greatest stories of repentance in Christian history — a reminder that no soul is too far for grace to find.

Immerse yourself in her world — the city’s noise, the desert’s silence, and the mercy that turned shame into light.
