Isaac of Dafra

According to Coptic manuscripts, an angel encouraged him to travel to the town of Towa, near Beba in the Bani Suwayf Governorate, to profess that he is of Christian faith in front of the governor and to receive martyrdom.While being transported by boat Isaac begged a man with a blind and closed eye for water.Upon receiving the water he threw a few drops upon the blind man's closed eye, after which he could see again.Some Christians returned Isaac's body to his town of Dafra, where a church was later built after him.[1] The feast day of Saint Isaac of Defra is on 6 Pashons[2] in and around the month of May.
