The Coptic Liturgy explained: History, Rites, and Theology with Abouna Antonios and Mina Samy Welcome to the very first episode of Deep Dive into the Coptic Liturgy, a long-form conversation dedicated to exploring one of the world’s oldest Christian worship traditions. In this episode, we sit down with Fr Antonious, priest of Archangel Michael & St Bishoy Coptic Orthodox Church in Sydney, Australia, and Mina Samy, lecturer in Coptic Liturgy & Rites at St Cyril’s Coptic Orthodox Theological College. Together, we unpack the story, structure, and spiritual meaning of the Coptic Orthodox liturgy, how it began, how it developed, and why it continues to shape the lives of millions of believers today.
