New Film Commemorates 21 Christian Martyrs

On the sixth anniversary of the martyrdom of 21 Coptic Christians at the hands of the Islamic State in Libya, news recently appeared that a film depicting their story is set to appear later this year in Egypt. The film commemorates what happened six years ago today, on Feb. 15, 2015.  Then, the Islamic State released a video depicting 21 Egyptian Christians being decapitated in Libya.  While sitting atop and holding their victims’ bodies down, Islamic State members shoved their fingers in the Christians’ eye sockets, craned their heads back, and sliced away at their throats with knives.  In their last moments, some of the Egyptian Copts were seen in the video praying to Christ.  To quote Bishop Anba Antonios Aziz Mina, who closely analyzed footage of the video:
