FAQ

St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Church of Washington, D.C. is proud to introduce OrthodoxBookstore.org. This is a service site to provide the world with information about one of the best kept secrets, the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Orthodox Church in general. The Coptic Orthodox Church is based on the teachings of Saint Mark who brought Christianity to Egypt during the reign of the Roman emperor Nero in the first century, a dozen years after our Lords ascension. He was one of the four evangelists and the one who wrote the oldest canonical gospel. The Coptic Church, which is now more than nineteen centuries old, was the subject of several prophecies in the Old Testament. Isaiah the prophet, in Chapter 19:19 said “In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD at its border.”
