Egyptian Christians
Egyptian Christians, primarily belonging to the Coptic Orthodox Church, represent one of the oldest Christian communities in the world. They trace their roots back to the early days of Christianity, with the tradition stating that Saint Mark brought Christianity to Egypt in the first century. Today, they make up about 10% of Egypt's population, preserving their unique religious practices and traditions.
The Copts celebrate various religious festivals, including Christmas and Easter, with distinct customs. Despite facing challenges and discrimination, Egyptian Christians continue to play a vital role in the cultural and social fabric of Egypt, contributing to its rich history and diversity.
