Black Saints, Mystics, Holy Folk (The Ancient African Liturgical Church, Vol. I (to year 599 A.D.) Smith, James Wesly (Author) August, 2007, Third Ed. 456 p. Paperback 19.95 digital editions,16.99, contact www.booklocker.com/3088.html. (ISBN: 9781609103590; ISBN 978-1-60145-088-3; ISBN digital:9781609103590, http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/isbn9781609103590

First published, August, 2007., in this third edition, folks traditionally surmised that Christian spirituality was brought into the African continent. Author James Wesly Smith indicates in this 456 reference tome.
“Not so fast. Yeshua (Jesus) grew up in Africa until age 6 or 7 to escape ing Herod’s 10 assassins,” Smith points out. He cites the Christian Bible references of Hosea 11:1, and Matthew 2:13-15, “Out of Africa, I called my son”.
Blending the lists of Coptic, Orthodox and Latin Rite friends of God called “saints”, Smith points out that more than 56,000 Black and African-heritaged folks labored in the faith. He says it was partly that because places such as Kemet (Egypt) was Rome’s bread baskets subject to higher taxes, this forced many holy folk into the deserts where the faith thrived.
In folksy style, Smith also goes onto to say that in ancient Macedonian, Greek, Roman, or even Ottoman Turkish maps, the term “North Africa”, is found nowhere. The attorney author concludes it as a colonialist construct to denigrate the achievements and contributions of holy Africans.

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 2:13-15
“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.(The barbaric practice still exists in some parts of Africa and elsewhere). 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.

Black Saints, Mystics, and Holy Folk (The Ancient African Liturgical Church, Vol I.
Before there was Bishop TD Jakes, Noel Jones, Drs. Price & Creflo Dollar, there was Bishop Athanasius, Augustine, Macarius, Antony, --and there was Anub and Amoun.
Yes! More than 56,000 Africa Black saints (in groups), from the early 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.ďż˝ 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.

SO 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.

-I am known as the Priest Martyr Thasius Cyprianus, also known as I, Bishop of Carthage. I was born in about the year 200 in the city of Carthage (Alkebulan, Africa. All my life and work occured there.
The son of a well- to- do pagan senator, I matriculated through an excellent secular education. Thereafter, in the school of Carthage, I became an accomplished orator, teacher of rhetoric and philosophy.
I often appeared at court, pleading and defending townsmen.
I knew for sometime "I remained in a deep dark myst..., far from the light of Truth".
I expended my wealth -- from my parents and from my work-- on banquets. But they were not able to quench in me in my quest for truth.
I become curious about Christianity,and sought acquaintance with the writings of the African, Tertullian, the presbyter, who was born about the year 160.
I later wrote that because of my habits, it seemed impossible for me to attain to the revival promised by Yeshua, Jesus, my Saviour. I was helped from my confusion by my spiritual mentor, Cecilius -- the presbyter. When I was 46 years of age, I embraced the Christian community as a catechumen.
But before being baptized, I distributed my property to the poor. Then I moved into the house of Cecilius. Thus graced by God, I wrote a letter to my friend Donatus that "When the surge of regeneration cleansed the impurity of my former life, a light -- steady and bright, shone down from Heaven into my heart. "
I became born again. The Holy Spirit invigorated me,and removed any doubt. God revealed mysteries to me, and made darkness, light. I learned, my former living in the flesh for sin belonged to the earthly. Now I began a divine living by the Holy Spirit.
"In God and from God is all our strength. From Him is our might. Through Him we who live on earth receive the hint of a condition of future bliss".
I was ordained a priest, a year following my baptism. When Bishop Donatus of Carthage died, the faithful all unanimously chose me as bishop. I said "unconditionally yes", complying with my mentor's request. I was ordained bishop of Carthage in about the year 248 A.D..
The Church's welfare proved my first concern, along with the concommitant ridding of vices in the clergy and flock. Hopefully my life caused the observing faithful "a desire to imitate my God- given piety, humility and wisdom with which God graced me. Beyond my diocese, I became known. Bishops from other areas sought my counsel.
But persecution by the emperor Decius 249-251, revealed to me in a dream, forced me into hiding. My life was necessary to my flock for the Strengthening faith and courage among my persecuted flock --I conducted my life.
Prior to my leaving my diocese, I distributed the church treasury among all the clergy so as to give help to the needy. I later sent additional monies. Through my letters (called epistles)to presbyters, confessors and martyrs, I kept in constant touch with the Carthaginian Christians.
Weakened by torture, some of the faithful offered sacrifice to pagan gods. Later, these lapsed Christians appealed to confessors for a letter of reconciliation. This was certificate of intercession, accepting the lapsed back into the Church. About this matter, I wrote all Carthaginian Christians a general communication.
I indicated that those lapsed during a time of persecution might be re- admitted into the Church-- only after penance and with the permission of the bishop.
But I wrote that Bishops must investigate the plights under which the lapse occured. Examination proved necessary of the sincerity of contrition of the lapsed. For some of those who had fallen away demanded immediate re- admittance into the Church. This caused unrest in the entire community.
I sought opinions of bishops from other dioceses. From all I received approval of my decrees.
During my absence I had delegated authority to four clergy to examine the lives of persons preparing for ordination to the priesthood and the diaconate. Resistance came from two indignants--a lay person, Felicissimus, and from the presbyter Novatus.
I excommunicated Felicissimus, along with six accomplices. My letter to the African Church Carthage, cautioned all to not split themselves from Church unity. I advised them and to await my return, and in the meanwhile, to be subject to the lawful commands of the bishop administering in my absence.
The letter caused most Carthaginian Christians to remain faithful.Upon my return, the defiance of Felicissimus ended in the year 251, with a Local Council. That enclave rendered adjudged the reception of the lapsed back into the Church after a church penance. It further affirmed the excommunication of Felicissimus.
A new schism (a schism is______________________)
by the Roman presbyter Novatian arose. It was joined by the Carthaginian presbyter Novatus -- a former Felicissimus associate.
Novatian taught that even if they repented of their sin, those Christians who had lapsed during time of persecution could not be admitted back.
Further, Novatian and Novatus convinced three Italian bishops during the lifetime of the lawful Roman bishop Celerinus to place another bishop on the Roman cathedra.
(Cathedra is a )
At first, I wrote a series of circular letters to the African bishops condemning such wrongs. Later, I composed an entire tome, "On the Unity of the Church".
Just as the attenuation of discord in the Carthage church began, a pestilential plague erupted. Hundreds Carthage. The sick were abandoned without help, and the dead without burial. God graced me by my example, and fortitude, to personally tend those sick and bury not only Christian, but pagan dead as well.
Drought and famine followed, and that by barbarian Numidians. These fell upon the misfortunate inhabitants, enslaving many. Wealthy Carthaginians were moved by us to develop means to feed the starving and ransom the captives.
Emperor Valerian (253-259) decreed a new persecution against Christians. Paternus, the Carthaginian proconsul, ordered the faithful to sacrifice to idols. I refused. I also remained silent as to the names and residences of the presbyters of the Carthage Church.
I was sent to the locale of Corubisum. Deacon Pontus voluntarily followed me into exile. Arriving at the place of exile, I dreamed/envisioned a quick martyr's end. So while in exile, I penned many letters and books. To suffer martyrdom at Carthage--caused me to return. And yet the court set me free until the following year. During that time, Carthagenian Christians bade me farewell and receive my blessing.
Later, in trial I steadfastly refused to sacrifice to idols. The court sentenced me to beheading with a sword. I exclaimed, "Thanks be to God!"
All the Christians present cried out with one voice, "And we want to die with him!"
At the place of execution, I again blessed all present. I arranged to give 25 gold coins to the executioner. I covered my eyes. I myself had my hands bound the presbyter and archdeacon standing nearby, then lowered my head.
To gather up my blood, Christians crying placed their shawls and veils by me. I received the martyr's death in the year 258. At night, the faithful took by body and buried me in the private crypt of the procurator, Macrovius Candidianus.
Around 500 years later, my holy relics were transferred to France, during the reign of of King Charles the Great, also knownas Charlemagne ( 771-814).

I am St Mark...Not totally Khemetian (from there, but labored there.
(You know saying...once you go Black).After preaching in Rome for a time, Mark went to Khemet and converted many to Christian faith in countryside; then leaving a small community of Christians there, he went to Alexandria.
As soon as he entered gates of city, so story goes, his sandal strap broke. He took it to a nearby shoemaker by name of Anianus, who became MARK''S first convert in Alexandria.
Mark soon discovered that he was being sought by his enemies, and so he appointed Anianus bishop, ordained three priests and seven deacons, and leaving them with orders to "serve and comfort faithful brethren," he left city.
He returned years later to find community he had left growing and thriving, but his enemies soon discovered him and threw him in prison. The next day, creature threw a rope around his neck and dragged him over ground until he died.
But when creature tried to burn body, creature found that it could not be harmed and scattered in fear. The Christians claimed body from pyre and buried it with reverence in church creature had built. Saint Mark proves revered as founder and first martyr of Christian Church in Khemet.
Saint Mark proves credited with writing oldest of four canonical gospels. According to Life of Apostle and Evangelist Mark written by Severus, Bishop of Al-Ushmunain, in late tenth century, Mark was one of servants who poured out water that Jesus turned into wine at marriage at Cana, and that it was his house in which Jesus appeared to disciples in hiding after His resurrection from dead.
(After a time, Saint Peter and Saint Mark went out to evangelize, and one night, Peter had a dream in which he was told to go, along with Mark, to Rome and to Alexandria)
An early uncertain tradition, recorded by Eusebius, renders Mark the first bishop of Alexandria. The tradition says that upon his arrival in Alexandria, like Paul arriving in Damascus, Mark found lodging with an inhabitant, in this case with a shoemaker.
The shoemaker was also to become a saint, whose memorial is celebrated -- Anianus. Tradition continues that Mark was martyred during the reign of Emperor Trajan or the "eighth year of Nero," and the shoemaker Anianus succeeded him as bishop.
One Easter Sunday, the uncertain tradition continues, April 24, 68, Mark was arrested. The long path of Jesus, from Gethsemani up to the palace of Anna, which Mark had not had the courage to pursue in Jerusalem, had been reserved for him, with a rope around his neck, from Alexandria up to the little port of Bucoles.
(But note: In the East, John Mark is believed to be a separate person who became bishop of Biblios and whose feast is celebrated on September 27). Doesn''t matter.
He is also the patron of Khemet, glaziers, notaries, secretaries, and Spanish cattle breeders (for which there is no obvious explanation). He is invoked by captives (Roeder, White).
Saint Mark is the patron of Venice. His relics were reputedly brought in the 9th century from Alexandria. The original church of St. Mark in Venice was destroyed in 976. The rebuilt basilica contains both the relics and a series of mosaics on Mark's life, death, and translation.

PLACES
Canopus
of Egypt. Its old Egyptian name was Pikuat; the Greeks called it Kanobos, or Kanopos, after a commander of a Greek fleet buried there. The city stood in the seventh Nomos (Menelaites, later Canopites), not far from the Canopic mouth. It had many martyrs in the persecution of Diocletian, among others St. Athanasia with her three daughters, and St. Cyrus and John. There was here a monastery called Metanoia, founded by monks from Tabennisi, where many patriarchs of Alexandria took shelter during the religious quarrels of the fifth century.
Two miles east of Canopus was the famous heathen temple of Manouthin, afterwards destroyed by monks, and a church on the same spot dedicated to the Evangelists. St. Cyril of Alexandria solemnly transported the relics of the holy martyrs Cyrus and John into the church, which became an important place of pilgrimage.
It was here that St. Sophronius of Jerusalem was healed of an ophthalmy that had been declared incurable by the physicians (610-619), whereupon he wrote the panegyric of the two saints with a collection of seventy miracles worked in their sanctuary (Migne, P.G., LXXXVII, 3379-676)
Canopus formed, with Menelaus and Schedia, a see subject to Alexandria in Aegyptus Prima; it is usually called Schedia in the "Notitiae episcopatuum". Two titulars are mentioned by Lequien (II, 415), one in 325, the other in 362.
The modern Arabic name is Aboukir, "Father Cyrus", in honour of the first of the two celebrated martyrs. It is to-day a village with 1000 inhabitants, at the end of a little peninsula north-east of Alexandria. It has a trade in quails, which are caught in nets hung along the shore. Off Aboukir, 1 August, 1798, the French fleet was destroyed within the roads by Nelson; 25 July, 1799
Hermopolis Hermopolis Magna
of Thebais Prima, suffragan of Antinoe, in Egypt. The native name was Khmounoun; in Coptic, Chmoun. It is today the village of Ashmounein on the left bank of the Nile, about four miles south- west of R�da (a station on the Cairo-Thebes railway, 180 miles from Cairo).
Khmounoun dates from a very remote antiquity, and at a very early period was an important religious centre. It worshipped a moon-god Thoth (Hermes), ibis or baboon, attended by four pairs of deities, whence the name Khmounoun (the eight). It played an important part from the sixth to the eleventh dynasties; and later became the chief town of the nome of Hermopolis. To the west of the village is the Ibeum, or burial place of the animals sacred to Thoth; at the foot of Gebel-el-Bersh�h is the necropolis of the local rulers. Palladius (Hist. Laus., lii) records a tradition to the effect that the Holy Family came to Hermopolis. St. Colluthus suffered martyrdom there under Maximian and Diocletian.
For a time, also, St. Athanasius lived there. Lequien (Oriens Christianus, II, 595) mentions eight bishops; and the place is still a see for the Monophysite Copts. In 1895 it was re-established by Leo XIII for the Coptic Catholics, but the titular lives at Minieh.
Hermopolis Parva
titular see of of �gyptus Prima, suffragan of Alexandria. Its ancient name, Dimanhoru or Tema-en- Hor, signifies the town of Horus. The Copts call it Tuininhor, and the Arabs, Damanhur. Situated on the canal uniting Lake Mareotis (Mariout) to the Canopic branch of the Nile, it has no history and no ruins.
It was near Damanhur that, on 10 July, 1798
Bonaparte walking unaccompanied, barely escaped being taken by the Mamelukes. The modem Damanhur, forty miles from Alexandria, on the Cairo-Alexandria railway, has 20,000 inhabitants and is the chief town of the province of Behera. It is famous for its silk, linen, and cotton stuffs.
Lequien (Or. Christ., II, 513 sqq.) mentions a dozen bishops of Hermopolis Parva, among them Dracontius, about 354, who suffered exile for the faith under Constantius; St. Isidore, his successor (feast kept 3 January); Dioscorus, the oldest of the four famous monks of Nitria, known as the Tall Brethren.
Tabenna
Alexandria-why so many saints out of Alexandria? Because it has always been a seaport. Alexandria the great improved the facilities, but this was in the decline of our empire.
Further, Our Lord, Yeshua, Jesus the Christ in English was raised near there. My speculation, the place was filled with grace because of the Holyh Family's temporary presence.
Antinoe
Antinoe is located a little over 6 miles south of Beni Hasan at a village called Sheikh Abada. Little is known of this Pharaonic town, which was founded by the emperor Hadrian on October 30th of 130 AD. Legend has it that it was built in honor of Antinus, who threw himself into the Nile to save the emperor.
All that is really left here is the temple of the god, Shepsy, which was built by Ramesse II. Shepsy is found in relation to Thoth of Hermopolis. Much of Antinoe may now be in Cairo. Apparently, materials from this site were quarried to build the 15th century mosques there, and it is also rumored that Salah ad-Din used the enclosure wall of the temple to build the fortification around Cairo. The mosque in the nearby village of Sheikh Abada is said to have been built on the site of the house of Mary the Copt. Early Christains also build monasteries in the nearby mountains.
A titular see in of the Thebaid, now Esneh or Esench, a city in Egypt, built by the Emperor Hadrian A. D. 132, in memory of his favourite, Antinous. Situated in the very centre of Egypt, the city attracted more than ordinary attention, not only by its splendour, but by its originality, being constructed, as it was, on the plan of Roman and Greek cities, without any trace of Egyptian architecture. The topography of its ruins is yearly growing less distinct, since an European industry set up in the neighbourhood draws on its antique materials as it might on some deserted marble quarry. After the fashion of Greek and Asiatic cities, the city was intersected by streets along the sides of which ran porticoes and colonnades, and several of the the streets were arched over.
Antinoe played but a small part in the history of Christianity. It became the seat of a bishopric subject to Thebes, and a good many monasteries were founded in the neighbourhood. Thanks to the Egyptian climate, the cemeteries opened in recent years have supplied the science of Christian antiquity with many noteworthy objects.
Roman and Byzantine burial-places have been found in a wonderful state of preservation. The bodies, before burial, underwent a preparation very different from that in use with the ancient Egyptians, and were carefully dressed; clothes, stuffing, and a mask being used instead of mummification, which was no longer practised. The bodies, however, had the appearance of mummies. To this manner of preparing their dead we owe the preservation of various personal effects as well as of stuffs.
The tomb of a young woman named Euphemi�an (?) contained an embroidery case in the folds of her dress, and shoes of red leather enriched with gold tracery. The excavations carried on by M. A. Gayet have brought to light objects which are now in the Mus�e Guimet at Paris, such as prayer-chaplets, baskets, phials, boxes of wood and ivory, etc. Papyri have also been found at Antinoe, one of the most interesting being the will of Aurelius Colluthus.
Several ruins of some importance are to be seen in the neighbourhood of Antinoe. One of the most noteworthy is that of De�r Abou-Hennys, where there is an underground church, ornamented with paintings of real interest, less on account of the choice of subjects than for the skill and taste which they show in a Coptic artist of the seventh or eighth century. They represent scenes from the Gospel, with a few drawn from the apocryphal books, and are interspersed with a great number of inscriptions, most of which are mutilated or undecipherable...
