Introduction: Cornelis Hulsman

We are very pleased to present the detailed life story of Saint Demiana and the 40 virgins which was presented to Arab-West Report for publication on our website by the Monastery of Saint Demiana and the Christian Treasures Organization. The name of the organization and the story of St. Demiana make it clear what is meant with ‘treasures.’ Stories such as that of St. Demiana are important to the spiritual life of millions of Christian believers in Egypt and as thus they are ‘treasures.’
