Coptic Heritage
Coptic Heritage refers to the rich cultural and religious traditions of the Copts, the indigenous Christian community of Egypt. This heritage includes unique practices, art, and language, particularly the Coptic language, which is derived from ancient Egyptian. Copts celebrate their faith through distinctive rituals and festivals, such as Coptic Christmas and Palm Sunday.
Coptic art is notable for its intricate iconography and architecture, especially in Coptic churches and monasteries. The Coptic Orthodox Church, one of the oldest Christian denominations, plays a central role in preserving this heritage. Copts have contributed significantly to Egypt's history, literature, and social fabric over the centuries.
