hellish laughter

disciples inconsolable

women go to weep

earth trembles

lightning strikes

angel descends

dead man alive

live guards dead

officially signed

sealed and delivered

heaven has last laugh!

christians in egypt

men, women, children of faith

shot dead on the sand

do not resist their captors

when asked to deny their faith

Coptic Christians martyred on way to worship as reported here in NY Times
