The Coptic Church of Alexandria was established in the first century when Saint Mark the Apostle and writer of the second gospel brought Christianity to Egypt during the reign of the Roman emperor Nero thirty some years after the Lord's ascension.
Christianity spread throughout Egypt within half a century of Saint Mark's arrival in Alexandria.
The Coptic Church, which is now more than nineteen centuries old, was the subject of many prophecies in the Old Testament.
