Copts in Europe

Copts in Europe are individuals of Egyptian origin who belong to the Coptic Orthodox Church, one of the oldest Christian communities in Egypt. Many migrated to Europe seeking safety, economic opportunities, or to escape religious or political upheaval. In Europe, they often maintain their religious practices, cultural traditions, and community organizations, contributing to the diversity of their host countries. While generally a minority, Coptic communities work to preserve their faith and cultural identity while integrating into European society. Their presence highlights the broader experience of diaspora communities maintaining their heritage abroad.
