Roots of Christianity & Judaism in Egypt We all know that Egypt is a predominantly Muslim country, but Christianity has deep roots in the Land of the Nile that pre-date Islam. And in fact, Christian Copts continue to play a strong role in Egypt,
Among early Coptic Christians, Jesus was at first viewed as a great prophet in the tradition of the Old Testament. Differences about the nature of Jesus continued to divide the new religion. His early followers, like other early Christians in the Roman Empire, were persecuted for their beliefs and practices. St. Mena was the first major Coptic saint, martyred in 309 A.D. After Emperor Constantine and the Roman Empire embraced Christianity, Coptic Christianity became part of the wider Christian world. Christian monasticism started among the Copts, and spread to Europe. The Nicene Creed, the essential statement of faith, was written in Alexandria. But
as the Church in Rome grew closer to the emperor, strains grew in
far-flung corners of the Christian world, including Egypt. Pope Dioscorus
of Alexandria objected to the emperor’s influence, and disagreed
with Rome over whether Christ had two natures—human The dissidents found refuge in desert sanctuaries, such as Wadi El Natroun, where they established monastic orders and preserved their beliefs. And their ancient texts survived as well in the dry desert air, to be re-discovered in the thirties. Jews, as well, have longstanding ties to Egypt that go well beyond what we know from the story of Passover. The Old Testament relates that Joseph found refuge in Egypt from drought in the land of Falstine, or Palestine, and that Jews dwelled there for 400 years. In
the process, through periods of prosperity, slavery, liberation and
exodus, Egypt left its Rituals
of birth, marriage, death and the harvest, still followed today, were
virtually identical with So, it is not a stretch to say that both Christianity and Judaism have deep roots in the ancient land of Egypt.
