Coptic Symbols

Coptic symbols are characters used in the Coptic language, an Egyptian language derived from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, primarily used by Egyptian Christians. The Coptic alphabet combines Greek letters with some Demotic symbols, creating a unique script. Coptic is important for understanding early Christian texts and the history of Christianity in Egypt. Symbolically, Coptic art often features Christian themes, depicting biblical scenes and saints, reflecting the rich cultural blend of ancient Egyptian and early Christian beliefs. Today, Coptic symbols remain a vital part of Coptic identity and heritage, representing a connection to both their ancient roots and their faith.
