Q&A Home > S > King Solomon

Why is King Solomon not in the Synaxarium? Doesn't the Coptic Orthodox Church regard him as a saint? If not; why? Also, if he is not a saint why are his books included in the Holy Bible?

King Solomon is not mentioned in the Synaxarium not for any specific reason. The Synaxarium does not cover all and every saint in history. He is considered one of the saints of the church. During the Holy Great Fast, we read a great number of passages from his holy book "The Wisdom of Solomon".
