The Coptic Rite is a liturgical tradition of the Coptic Orthodox Church, which is one of the oldest Christian denominations. It originated in Egypt and is characterized by its unique prayers, hymns, and rituals that reflect the early Christian practices. The rite is conducted in the Coptic language, a direct descendant of ancient Egyptian, and incorporates elements from both the Byzantine and Alexandrian liturgical traditions. The Coptic Rite includes various sacraments, with the Eucharist being central to its worship. The liturgy is rich in symbolism and often features elaborate vestments and icons. Celebrations such as Christmas and Easter are particularly significant, marked by special services that highlight the Coptic faith's deep-rooted traditions and beliefs.
