Coptic Patriarchate

The Coptic Patriarchate is the leadership of the Coptic Orthodox Church, one of the oldest Christian denominations, centered primarily in Egypt. Headed by the Coptic Pope, the Patriarchate oversees religious, spiritual, and organizational matters within the church. The Coptic Orthodox Church maintains distinct traditions, theology, and liturgy, tracing its origins back to St. Mark the Evangelist in the first century. The Patriarchate plays a vital role in preserving Coptic culture and heritage, supporting the Christian community in Egypt and around the world, and engaging in dialogues with other Christian denominations and religions.
