July 27: Feast day of saint Nathalia, Aurelius, Liliosa, Felix and George. Matyrs

During the 8th century, the Mohammedans ruled Codova, Spain, and initiated a persecution of the Christians. nathalia and Aurelius were converted Moslems who decided to practice the Faith openly. After setting aside enough money to take care of their daighter's future, they gave the rest of their possesions to the poor and practiced penance and devotion. Their example proved to be an inspiration for a relative of Aurelius named Felix and his wife Liliosa, who had been practicing her Faith in secret. They joined Liliosa and Aurelius in visiting and ministering to the Christians in prison. They were quickly arrested and cast into prison along with a beggar named George, who belonged to the monastery of Saint Sabas in Jerusalem and had toured Egypt and Europe in search of alms for his house. They were all condemned to desth--the first four for giving up the Moslem religion and George for insulting Mohammed. On July 27, 852, these saintly followers of Christ achieved the martydom they so avidly sought.

Church members chase pastor from church for impregnating maid

There was commotion on Sunday at the United Methodist Church, Mafoluku, in the Oshodi area of Lagos as members of the church chased away their pasto for allegedly impregnating his housemaid. It was learnt that the pastor, Barkuma Andrew, was stopped from leading the church seven months ago when the housemaid, who was also a member of the church, Grace, had complications after aborting the pregnancy. Andrew had lived with his wife, children, wife’s cousin, Favour, and Grace in a three-bedroomed flat on the church premises before the incident. It was gathered that the members had petitioned the Central Conference of the church in Taraba State to investigate the alleged accusation. Then sought the service of another pastor three weeks ago when the district reportedly failed to probe Andrew. At 10 am on Sunday, members of the church showed up for Sunday service only to see that Andrew and some “unknown” people had commenced the service. This angered the congregation which proceeded to cha

12 yr old boy rips a hole into 350 yrs old painting worth $1.5million

A 12-year-old boy in Taiwan accidentally ripped a hole into a 350-year-old painting by Baroque artist Paolo Porpora that's worth over $1.5 million, according to the exhibition's organizers showcasing the painting. The boy was caught on security footage this past Sunday at "The Face of Leonardo, Images of a Genius" exhibition in Taipei, according to the exhibition's Facebook page. The video shows the 12-year-old tripping over a rope barrier and trying to catch his balance on the 17th-century oil painting titled "Flowers." He accidentally punches a hole the size of a fist into the painting and looks around, apparently in shock, when he gets up. The painting, 6.5 feet tall, was being restored on Monday by a Taiwanese art restorer before it was shipped back to Italy, according to Sun Chi-hsuan, the head of exhibition co-organizer TST Art of Discovery Co., Taiwanese news network Central News Agency (CNA) reported. The exhibition was also temporarily closed M
