Rejoice, Mary! Theotokos! Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Yeshua, Jesus, The Christ. Pray for us now and the hour of our death, amen!

BOOK FOREWORD

Before there was Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Trinity United Church;Before Bishop TD Jakes and Potter's Field, Before Bishop Noel Jones, Drs. Price & Creflo Dollar, there were Bishops Athanasius, Augustine, Cyprian of Carthage, Clement of Alexandria,Macarius, Antony, --and there was Anub and Amoun--all of the original Black Church.

Yes! More than 57,000 Africa Black saints (in groups), from the early African Christian Church (we mention a few; tell where to find the rest).

To answer our brethren from Al Islam, no longer will you have to shirk, when you hear "Why do you follow a religion from Europe. You will be able to show that Christianity-- the faith of Our Lord Yeshua, Jesus the Christ-- came out of Africa, along with its precursor, the African Essenne and Therapeutae movements. Get yours today!

Black Saints, Mystics, and Holy Folk (The Ancient African Liturgical Church,Vol. I)

Now more than 456 +plus pages of lists 57,000(grouped) Black Saints, Mystics, Holy Folk, in 1000 lines of information.

HERE NOW! Immediately accessible.

Most Blacks know about the African St. Augustine, and his mom, St. Monica. Some might be vaguely familiar with St. Martin de Porres, or St. Benedict the Moor. But few know the writer of the Gospel of Mark and secretary to both Apostles Peter and Paul--was African, Mark! We have not been taught about the Saints Clement and Denis of Alexandria, nor St. Catherine the Great. Thousands of Desert Fathers and Mothers who followed Christ in the first 599 years of the Church have been hidden from us.

How many of us know about St. Macarious the Elder, and St. Macarious the Younger, Apa Noub, Ammon the Great, St. Cyprian of Carthage, Pope St. Victor I-- all African friends of God (called (I>saints)

57,000 Black Saints, Martyrs, and Holy Folk Discovered in the Ancient African Church before 599 A.D.

"Out of Egypt I called My Son" See Hosea 11:1, Matthew 2:15

“Why do you follow a white god? Why do you worship in institutions that never accepted you?” Stinging questions Black Catholics and others ethnic perennially parry from members in the historically Black Churches. The questions traditionally have included queries from Al Islam (Muslims) believers in the urban areas.

But now evidence exists that Christianity (also) sprang out of the African, as opposed to the Saudi Arabia origination of the Prophet Muhammad and his original followers. Black Saints, Mystics, and Holy Folks (The Ancient African Liturgical Church, Vol. I). seeks to correct the oversight, especially as the Church grows by leaps in bounds in the Africa and the geologic and historical lands of Black Diaspora.

Such proofs can be gleaned from the 57,000 African Saints in the early 500 years from when Jesus (Yeshua) commissioned His apostles to go forth and teach all nations.

Horrors of enslavement and colonialism still haunt and direct the Black Church experience in the church. But now, Black Christians, Catholics and ethnics can show that Yeshua, Jesus the Christ, grew up in Africa, personally establishing an African root to His vine, and the branches. Black Saints, Mystics, and Holy Folk shows that the once powerful African Church had at least five apostles ministering there before their departures to other lands. Cephas (Simon Peter) in set up a church in Babylon, Egypt before going to Antioch and finally Rome. Phillip visited and assisted the Ethiopian Eunuch (See Acts 8:26-39. Nathaniel Bartholomew Levi ministered in Africa.

Tradition calls Matthew, Apostle to the Ethiopians (See http://www.traditioninaction.org/SOD/j092sdMatthew_9-21.htm

And Jude Thaddeus Lebbeus (Jesus’ cousin) healed there, according to Black Saints introductory chapters. The Coptic branch of the one, holy catholic (which means universal) Church still manifests proud traditions of the Holy Family’s visits. (See Isaiah 19:1, Matthew 3: 13-15. http://touregypt.net/featurestories/journey.htm).

Important information, inasmuch United States Bishops (and those elsewhere) blew an opportunity to evangelize the formerly enslaved after the American Civil War.

As the Holy Catholic church struggles in the West, the Church African (originally part of the oriental Church), finds the leaves of growth regaining the light of day, bursting thought the concrete of neglect, persecution, and heresies of the Vandals, and Arians who nearly destroyed the African Church during the AD 400s.

An old Black adage opines, “your friends don’t need an explanation, and your enemies won’t believe it no’ way”. (Not that readers are enemies, but brothers and sisters know whereof I speak). Thus, how do we know the saints and companions are Black (instead of just African)?

In these pages as well as our research, we used the age-old American test. Notwithstanding the legal examination, above mentioned, (the “One drop rule”), we query, “How would they (the candidate for inclusion, and or the companions) fare in the American South in segregation Mississippi, walking into a Ku Klux Klan rally?) Or

Would the saint, mystic, and companions need an identity card in South African in from the late 1940s, to the early 21st century?

Further, we also acknowledge the “birds of a feather” paradigm. What would happen to those “not black,” associating in perilous times of martyrdom with those who are?

But note. Some listed here aren’t ethnically black (unless you count HB Leakey’s discoveries that modern man-one drop rule-- walked out of Africa million(s) of years ago).

But black they are, nevertheless. The American South had a name for them. Presumably, likewise, in South Africa in the 1940s to 1990s.

We include them because they helped lift up the Kingdom of God amongst the Africans, and descendants of the African Diasporas (historical and geologic). Hence, they are reckoned among the “holy folk”.

This tome came about because this writer tired of Western (read that American church) racism. Though now waning in this 21st century but still extant, we were tired of feeling we did not belong.

We tired of being unable (or psychologically unwilling) to take the cup—Blood of Christ—in Holy Eucharist without fear that some third worlder (they consider themselves first world) would frown in disdain and refuse to drink.

Further, watching a Grammys (Music) Award Show one night, one Black artist thanked the crowd for “teaching us about Jesus!” …I more than fell out of my chair. Christianity came out of Africa (see “Out of Kemet (Egypt)” quote above), not to it! We disparage no one’s involvement in it. But we wished the little ones that sing, “Yes, Jesus loves me!” included those with melanin. Hence, this writing evolved.

In some instances, calendar dates differ while they may be the same.

This is due to changes in the Latin, Byzantine, Coptic, Russian, or Greek rites(Orthodox). (Rites are but ways of worship, of doing things in the church. For Example, in Australia, one may be greeted with a "G'day, mate". IN chicago (USA), it might be, "Hello". Both are greetings, just differently manifested).

So historical dates are approximate, due to the differences in the Latin Rite, Russian, Greek, and Roman, AND Western interpretations/translations of those calendars.

Names without dates are taken from tombs, authorities, references to other saints in Africa, Kemet(Egypt, tot he Eurocentric), and environs (under the birds of a feather model)
