7 Mysteries (Sacraments) of the Coptic Orthodox Church
All the Mysteries/Sacraments spring from the merit of Christ's blood on the Cross.

History of the Coptic Church
Blessed is Egypt My people - Isaiah 19:25 God's promise to His people is always fulfilled; He foretold that He would ride on a light and upon a swift cloud and com to Egypt.

God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." (Mat 22:31,32). Therefore those saints are still living. Why should we consider them dead and not ask their prayers. - Pope Shenouda IIIRead More
