The Coptic Orthodox Church whose establishment is attributed to St. Mark the Apostle in the 1st century CE
The Coptic Orthodox Church (the term “Copt“ comes from the Greek word “aegiptos,” meaning “Egyptian”), whose establishment is attributed to St. Mark the Apostle in the 1st century CE. Ancient Christian manuscripts were found in the Egyptian deserts indicating the beginning of Christian asceticism.
The compound at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher houses the seat of the Coptic Archbishop and three churches, the most important one of which is the Church of St. Antonius dating from the 3rd century. When Antonius, who founded Coptic the monastic movement, was alone in the desert Satan tried to tempt him.
When Satan attempted to remove his hat, which had been given to him by God as a symbol of his adherence to Christianity, the hat tore during the struggle. Antonius repaired the hat and since then Coptic monks have worn this distinctive hat with a prominent seam that divides the hat in two, as a constant reminder of the dangers of temptation and being distracted from God.
Beneath the compound is rooms dating from the Middle Ages and a large water cistern from the Byzantine period. The Copts have a chapel in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and several other buildings in the Christian Quarter.
At the entrance of the Patriarchate is St Helena’s Coptic Orthodox Church in which is a large underground 4th-century cistern accessed by a staircase. This was discovered in the 4th Century by Constantine’s mother Queen Helena and provides water to the Church of Holy Sepulchre.
