Because of the severity of the persecutions during his time, the Copts called it the Era of Martyrs, Anno Martyri, establishing the new calendar specific to the Coptic Church, the Calendar of the Martyrs, in September 283 A.D. The Christian Copts adopted the Coptic Calendar specifically for the Church during the persecution of the Romans under Emperor Diocletian (283 to 305 A.D.). This latter view is considered the most correct. The Ancient Egyptians repeatedly used these words in their temples for their gods to bless the Nile River and the crops.

It is, therefore, our obligation to repent and return to God with all our hearts, offering to Him a blessed New Year. John delivers a similar message in his first Epistle saying that вЂњthe darkness is passing away and the true light is already shiningвЂќ (1 Jn. Paul writes: вЂњthe old has passed away, behold, the new has comeвЂќ (2 Cor.

In the Psalm of the Liturgy, the deacon reads, вЂњBless the Crown of the Year with Your goodness.вЂќ Similarly, in the reading of the Gospel, the Savior blesses the New Year in abundance, saying, вЂњto proclaim the acceptable year of the LordвЂќ (Lk.
