  Faras - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Faras, known in ancient times as Pachoras, was a major city in Lower Nubia in modern Egypt.

Faras has been a prominent supporter of the ‘Geneva Initiative,’ an unofficial peace proposal drafted in 2003 by a group of leftist Israelis led by Yossi Beilin and Palestinians, and appears on the Geneva Initiative web site, conveying a message of peace to Israelis.

Faras said, ‘We are all going in the way of Ziad Hamed, the Shahid of Silwad, until the fulfillment of the goal for which he became a shahid...’ (Hamed died of cancer while in an Israeli prison – Ed.)”

The paintings from Faras and records concerning the Pachoras bishopric became in the 60s the most fascinating new material, literally putting Christian Nubia on the map of the Byzantine oikumene.
Faras and Qasr Ibrim were the main centers in this period, but there were many settlements which appear to have been vigorously developing small towns.
At the turn of the 6th century Faras and its vicinity saw the construction of a number of churches of homogeneous exterior form and almost identical interior design.

 WorldNetDaily: 'Peaceful' PA official praises suicide bombers
Qadura Faras, a Palestinian Legislative Council member and lawmaker from the ruling Fatah party, has been a vocal proponent of the Geneva Initiative, a private peace proposal drafted in 2003 by a group of extreme leftist Israelis, Palestinians and Europeans calling for an immediate Palestinian state in Gaza, Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem.
According to the Al-Hayat Al-Jadida Palestinian newspaper, which covered Faras' Arabic-language address, the Fatah official "emphasized the continuation of the struggle until the freeing of all of the Palestinian territories from the filth of the occupation, and establishing the independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
Faras said, 'We are all going in the way of Ziad Hamed, the Shahid of Silwad, until the fulfillment of the goal for which he became a shahid...

In the 6th century, Faras - or Pachora, as it was once called — had already boasted a Christian church, and had been the seat of a bishop since c.625.
The high quality of these 12th and 13th century frescoes shows that Faras was the most important artistic centre in the north of Christian Nubia (the kingdom of Nobatia).
They are usually called "Frescoes from Faras" though this is not quite correct as they were executed in the al secco and not in the al fresco technique.

In Faras it is the bucranium from his crown and this has an analogy in a recently uncovered painting from Old Dongola where the Mother of God holds her crown in a similar way.
The Faras painting is undoubtedly the work of a good artist, while the portrait at Abd el Gadir was painted by a local village painter entrusted with the task of representing the sponsor of the church's development on its walls.
The identification of the Faras painting as a portrait of Mari Kuda, not absolutely certain as yet, has provided scholars with the opportunity of placing other representations of eparchs without identifying inscriptions in a chronological order based on stylistic criteria and the logic of architectural changes inside the cathedral.
