Coptic hymnography

Coptic hymnography is the tradition of composing and performing spiritual songs within the Coptic Orthodox Church. It involves poetic texts set to music, used in liturgical services, rituals, and devotions. These hymns express theological themes, praise God, Mary, saints, and reflect on biblical stories. They are often chanted or sung by clergy and choir, creating a sacred atmosphere. Rooted in ancient Christianity, Coptic hymnography combines religious devotion with artistic expression, serving as a powerful means to deepen spiritual connection and convey theological teachings through melodic, poetic forms.
