Patriarch of Alexandria

The Patriarch of Alexandria is the leading bishop and spiritual leader of the Greek Orthodox Church in Alexandria, Egypt. Historically established by Saint Mark in the first century, this role involves overseeing church communities, guiding faith practices, and maintaining theological and organizational unity. The Patriarch acts as a key authority for Orthodox Christians in Egypt and neighboring regions, promoting religious growth, social services, and interfaith dialogue. While rooted in ancient tradition, the position continues to adapt to contemporary challenges, serving both as a spiritual figurehead and a cultural leader within the broader Orthodox Christian world.
