Come and discover a spiritual Christian treasure that was founded in Egypt 2000 years ago. Prophesied about in the Bible, blessed by the Lord Jesus Christ in His visit to Egypt, and now transferred to thousands of locations around the globe.

The Coptic Orthodox Church (a.k.a. the Church of Alexandria) is one of the oldest Apostolic Churches in the world. There were originally five ancient Apostolic Churches established in: Jerusalem (where Christianity began), Alexandria, Rome, Antioch, and Constantinople. St. Mark the Evangelist, author of the Gospel of Mark, founded the Church of Alexandria around 61 A.D. In 68 A.D., the Feast of the Resurrection fell on the same day as the pagan festival to honor the false god Serapis. A furious mob had gathered in the Serapion (pagan place of worship) and descended on the Christians amidst their celebrations. St. Mark was seized, dragged by a rope around his neck in the streets of Alexandria, and

then jailed for the night. The following morning, the same ordeal was repeated until he gave up his

spirit. St. Mark was the first Coptic Patriarch of Alexandria. Today, Pope Tawadros II is the 118th

Patriarch of the See of St. Mark.
