It is also celebrated in the Coptic Church by ceremonially throwing a martyr's relic into the river, hence the name, The Martyr's Finger (Coptic: ⲡⲓⲧⲏⲃ ⲛⲙⲁⲣⲧⲏⲣⲟⲥ, Arabic: Esba` al-shahīd‎).
Peristiwa tersebut juga dirayakan dalam Gereja Koptik yang secara seremonial melempar relik martir ke sungai tersebut, sehingga dinamai Jari Martir (bahasa Koptik: ⲡⲓⲧⲏⲃ ⲛⲙⲁⲣⲧⲏⲣⲟⲥ, bahasa Arab: Esba` al-shahīd‎).
