Episodes

Saint Bishoy | The Man Who Carried Christ 21.05.2026

Many climbed the mountain to find Him. Only one stopped on the way. Saint Bishoy was not a ruler. Not a philosopher. Not a man the world would have noticed. He was a village boy from Shansa who walked away from everything familiar… and into the wilderness of Scetis. There, he spent his life in prayer, fasting, and silence. Tying his hair to the ceiling so sleep wouldn't take him. Standing thr...

Saint Karas | The Man Who Disappeared Into God 07.05.2026

He was born close to power. A brother of an emperor. A man who had everything the world could offer. And he left it all behind. Not in anger. Not in defeat. But because he had felt something greater than comfort, greater than honour, greater than the life everyone around him was fighting to protect. And he could not unfeel it. For fifty-seven years, Saint Karas lived alone in the inner desert of E...

Fr Raphael Moussa - The Priest That Stayed 29.04.2026

In a world that celebrates noise, recognition, and status… some lives are lived very differently. Father Raphael Moussa was not famous. He didn’t seek attention.  He didn’t build a platform. He simply stayed. With the broken. With the lost. With those who felt unseen. But behind that quiet life… was a courage few could understand. He faced danger when others would step back. He gave when no one wa...

St Veronica - The Woman Who Reached Through The Crowd 16.04.2026

In a crowded street, surrounded by noise, movement, and urgency… one quiet touch stopped everything. For twelve years, she lived in suffering.  Isolated. Overlooked. Unclean. Every step she took had to be measured. Every interaction carried risk. Every day was shaped by something she could not control. And then… she heard His name. This episode tells the story of St. Veronica — the woman who reach...

St. Longinus - The Soldier Who Pierced Christ 07.04.2026

He wasn’t a follower of Jesus. He wasn’t searching for truth. He was a Roman soldier… sent to carry out an execution. In a time when the Roman Empire ruled with power and fear, crucifixion was the ultimate punishment — brutal, public, and final. And on that day, one man stood closer than most. As Jesus of Nazareth hung on the Cross — beaten, mocked, and sentenced to die — one soldier watched it al...

What follows is a story marked by betrayal, persecution, and ultimately, martyr...

St. Philomena — The Silent Warrior 24.03.2026

St. Sophia and Her Daughters — Wisdom, Faith, Hope, and Love 09.01.2026

The 21 Martyrs of Libya: Faith on the Shore of Death 10.12.2025

St Abanoub: The Child Who Shook an Empire 03.12.2025

This immersive, cinematic retelling brings yo...

St Wanas – The Child Martyr of Courage 17.11.2025

St Mary of Egypt — The Desert That Became Her Salvation 11.11.2025

St Stephen - The First Martyr 08.10.2025

In the streets of ancient Jerusalem, truth once again meets fury. Stephen — a humble servant chosen to feed the widows — becomes the first to die for the name of Christ. His words shake the council.

Listen with headphones for the full cinem...

St. Perpetua & St. Felicity – The Mothers Who Defied Rome 29.09.2025

St. Paul the First Hermit – Hidden in the Desert, Crowned in Eternity 23.09.2025

Long before St. Anthony was called the Father of Monasticism, another saint quietly walked the sands of Egypt. Betrayed by his own family, fleeing persecution, and vanishing into the wilderness, St. Paul the First Hermit lived ninety years in silence and prayer — sustained by a spring, a palm tree, and a raven sent from heaven. In this milestone 10th episode of Voices of the Saints , experience th...

St Athanasius - Athanasius Against The World 16.09.2025

When emperors commanded him to be silent, he spoke.  When armies hunted him, he hid but never stopped writing.  When the whole world turned against him, he stood firm.

St Monica - Tears That Moved Heaven 02.09.2025

A story of faith without words, obedience without recognition, and the man chose...

St Moses the Black - From Sword to the Crown 11.08.2025

Feared across Egypt. A towering figure whose shadow brought terror, a killer whose name silenced villages, a man who lived for violence, pleasure, and power. But a single divine whisper would send him on a path from bloodshed to baptism — from the sword to the altar. This is the life of St. Moses the Black — once a robber and murderer, later a humble priest and spiritual father to hundreds of monk...
