Pope Kyrillos VI Orthodox Icon Rock Slate Plaque Coptic Christian Religious Gift Decor

Pope Kyrillos VI — born Azer Youssef Atta in 1902 — is one of the most beloved and venerated figures in the modern history of the Coptic Orthodox Church. Elected as the 116th Pope of Alexandria in 1959, he served the Church with extraordinary humility, holiness, and spiritual depth until his repose in 1971. From his earliest years, Kyrillos was drawn to a life of prayer and solitude. He lived as a monk in a windmill on the outskirts of Cairo, spending long hours in fasting, prayer, and intercession — often praying through the night. As Pope, he was renowned for his miraculous gifts of healing and his deep personal piety, and countless testimonies of answered prayers and healings were attributed to his intercession both during his life and after his repose. He oversaw the transfer of the relics of Saint Mark the Evangelist back to Egypt — a historic and deeply moving moment for the Coptic Church. Pope Kyrillos VI was canonized as a saint by the Coptic Orthodox Church in 2013, and his icon is treasured in Coptic homes and churches around the world as a symbol of holiness, prayer, and the living presence of God’s grace in the modern age.

"The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." — James 5:16
