In this episode of The Voice of the Saints, we step into the desert with St. Anthony the Great, the man who gave birth to Christian monasticism.

From his quiet life in a small Egyptian village to his fierce battles with demons in the wilderness, Anthony’s story is one of faith, humility, and spiritual warfare. For over a century, he became a living witness to Christ — a father to monks, a defender of truth, and a man whose legacy still shapes the Church today.

Listen as we trace his journey through doubt, temptation, and triumph — and hear why the desert that once seemed empty became a city of saints.

✨ This is the voice of St. Anthony.

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 monks, and finally, a martyr crowned in glory. His journey from darkness to light is a living testimony that no past is beyond the reach of God’s grace.

In this episode of Voices of the Saints, we bring you a cinematic, immersive retelling of his remarkable transformation and final stand.

She was fifteen when she turned down marriage to become the Bride of Christ.
She built a palace in the Egyptian desert — and filled it with forty virgins committed to prayer, purity, and martyrdom.

When the Emperor Diocletian launched a brutal persecution against Christians, St. Demiana stood alone… and unshaken.

Beaten. Tortured. Broken.
She never offered incense.
She never said “I deny.”

In this cinematic retelling of her life and death, we explore the courage of Egypt’s most fearless martyr — and the vow that made her the Princess of the Martyrs.
