Arrival of Orthodoxy:
1st Century: Some of the Seventy-Disciples&Saint CrescensSome of the Sicilian MartyrsNorth African Primacy:
Saint Cyprian of Carthagethrough the 7th CenturyPersecution:8-10th
Carthage, in addition to no longer existing in the modern day, is certainly one of the smaller regions of the historical Orthodox Church. We know, however, that size is not what makes the Church glorious. The glory of the Church is in God and his saints, and despite being the smaller of the Western Churches, the saints of Carthage and Northern Africa shine brightly. May we all live to see the return of a great See of Holy Orthodoxy in Northern Africa.
