Description
This is the St. Mark Orthodox Coptic Church of Alexandria. Here are the relics of John Mark, the saint that wrote Mark Gospel. He was killed by the pagans of Alexandria in 68 A.D.
In 828 A.D. some Italian sailors stole his body (without the head) and took it to Venice.
In 1968 Pope had returned the relics to the Patriarch of Alexandria.
The Church of Alexandria in Egypt is the particular church headed by the Patriarch of Alexandria. It is one of the original four Apostolic churches of Christianity, with Rome, Antioch and Jerusalem (Constantinople was added later as the fifth).
The Church of Alexandria claims jurisdiction over the Christians in all the African continent. In other words, all the Christian churches in Africa are considered daughter churches of the Church of Alexandria.
