Coptic liturgical rites

Coptic liturgical rites are the structured prayers, hymns, and rituals used in Coptic Christian worship, especially during church services. They follow a set order with specific actions, readings, and chants that have been developed over centuries. These rites emphasize reverence for God, celebrate major feasts, and connect the community through shared traditions. The liturgies often include the Divine Liturgy of Saint Basil or Saint Gregory, involving scripture readings, prayers, incense, and singing in the Coptic language. Overall, they serve to deepen spiritual focus, foster community, and honor the history and theology of the Coptic Orthodox Church.
