He was known as a manuscript illuminator. The painting was accomplished with a very fine paintbrush. A closer look at the brush strokes will reveal how the Coptic alphabet letter “Ι”, pronounced “e” and called Yota is used to form the shape of all the crosses. The Yota letter is also the first letter in the name “Jesus” and pronounced "Esoos" in Coptic. Thus the reason for calling this style of cross the “Yota Cross.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605934e3f850364a947588b4/4f3d292c-0ae6-4830-8951-2f0cf4c363e8/Peace-Planter-Photo-Sarah-Assaad-2-768x603.gif Paintings 2014.1.1 The Peace Planter (2004) By: Mina el-Gebaly Oil on canvas, 61 x 76 cm Mina el-Gebaly’s artistic work is inspired by his belief that art can provoke people to raise difficult questions about the barriers to peace.

The painting was offered by the artist to the Coptic Museum of Canada as it seemed to him “that there is no better destination for the painting than the Museum which Fr. Marcos founded as a manifestation of his passion for Coptic Culture and history… (and Fr.
