The Coptic Liturgy

The Coptic Liturgy is the central act of worship in the Coptic Orthodox Church, blending ancient rites with deep spiritual significance. This sacred service brings the faithful together for prayer, reflection, and the Holy Eucharist.

 

The Divine Liturgy is performed in Coptic, the language of the early Egyptian Christians, and Arabic, the spoken language of modern congregations. It features hymns, Bible readings, and the Anaphora, the prayer that consecrates the bread and wine as the Body and Blood of Christ.

 

The Coptic Liturgy is celebrated in different forms, such as the Liturgies of St. Basil, St. Gregory, and St. Cyril, each preserving the essence of early Christian worship while guiding the faithful in their devotion.
