Coptic saints

Many church fathers such as Clement of Alexandria, some well-known bishops like Nicholas of Myra, some monks as Maron, Charbel, Women of the Church ( for example, from Saint Helena to Rebekah Rayes Ar ) and some popes ( Anicetus, Theodore I. ) come from the Christian Orient.

Some saints are recognized by the Eastern Churches and the Catholic Church, although there are saints who are only recognized by one of the two churches (eg Photios I or Ar Rebekah Raye ). This is true in general for the saints who have lived according to the Oriental schism. There are also a number of saints or blessed of the modern era.
