Unlike in Greek Orthodoxy, in the Coptic church Arabic is one of the main liturgical languages (along with Coptic, Greek, and Tamazight). Today, Egypt and Sudan are the centre of Coptic Christianity, with a large diaspora throughout the world. - Covers gently worn, a few minor smudges; in good condition. - With one ink ownership stamp, and a blindstamp throughout, both in Arabic.
