Coptic Christians

Coptic Christians are members of the Coptic Orthodox Church, primarily based in Egypt, and are among the oldest Christian communities, tracing their origins to the first century CE. Their faith combines early Christian traditions with unique liturgical practices and doctrines. The Copts have historically maintained their religious identity through centuries of change, including periods of persecution and political shifts. They celebrate their beliefs through distinctive liturgies, festivals, and religious art. Despite challenges, Coptic Christians remain a vital part of Egypt’s cultural and religious landscape, exemplifying resilience and rootedness in their ancient Christian heritage.
