History of the Coptic Orthodox Church
Our history traces back to the early days of Christianity, rooted in the teachings of St. Mark, one of the four Evangelists who authored the Gospel of Mark. St. Mark’s efforts in spreading Christianity were instrumental in establishing the foundation of the Coptic Orthodox Church in Egypt.
Over the centuries, the Coptic Orthodox Church has navigated challenges and celebrated triumphs, embodying resilience and unwavering faith. In the present era, our spiritual leadership is under the wise guidance of Pope Tawadros II, the current Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of St. Mark. His leadership has played a vital role in nurturing our global community, continuing the legacy of spiritual guidance and community development.
Today, as part of the Coptic Orthodox Church in Scandinavia, we proudly carry forward this historic legacy, embracing the teachings of St. Mark and the dynamic leadership of Pope Tawadros II. Together, we celebrate a heritage that spans centuries, fostering spiritual growth and unity within our community.
