List of Coptic saints

List of Coptic saints
Early church historians, writers, and fathers testified to the numerous Copt martyrs. Tertullian, a 3rd-century North African lawyer, wrote, "If the martyrs of the whole world were put on one arm of the balance and the martyrs of Egypt on the other, the balance will tilt in favor of the Copts."
The following is a list of saints commemorated by the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria. The majority of saints are from Egypt, with the majority venerated in all of Christianity.
