The [[Coptic]] Orthodox Church celebrates his [[feast day]] on [[April 5]] ([[Coptic Calendar|Baramhat 27]]) and the return of his body to his [[monastery]] at Scetis on [[August 25]] ([[Coptic Calendar|Mesra 19]]). The day appointed for his feast in Eastern Orthodoxy is [[January 19]], while the [[Roman Catholic]] Church celebrates it four days earlier. Not to be confused with St. [[Macarius of Alexandria]] [http://www.copticcentre.com/copticSt.s.html#St.%20Macarius%20of%20Alexandria].
