Your comments mirror a lot from my Egyptian friends. Thanks for sharing.
- elcritch 2y agoI have some Coptic friends as well. They’re fantastic, and very proud of their Coptic heritage. Alexandria was also very influential in early church theology and one of the primary bishopric “sees”. Interestingly they call their head bishop “pope”. Also Coptic and Ethiopian iconography are gorgeous. They’re simplistic, almost cartoonish, but very artistic and emotional [1, 2, 3]. 1: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5537d482e4b0cda0deb18bb7/1522254044474-RAOSY0G9QTIYNI1TBWGS/Crucifixion?format=1500w https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5537d482e4b0cd... 2: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/848717492273364910/ https://www.pinterest.com/pin/848717492273364910/ 3: https://www.axiawomen.org/wow/holy-week-and-easter-icons https://www.axiawomen.org/wow/holy-week-and-easter-icons
