Egypt was one of the first countries to know Christianity, with Saint Mark the Evangelist bringing Christianity to the country〔Translation of St Mark book by Pope Shenouda III http://tasbeha.org/content/hh_books/Stmark〕 around 43 AD.〔History of the Coptic Church by Fr Menassa Youhanna〕 The Egyptian Christians, also known as the Copts, have produced over a million saints, many of whom are recognised simultaneously in the Oriental Orthodox Churches, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the Roman Catholic Church. Early church historians, writers, and fathers testified to the numerous Egyptian martyrs. Tertullian, 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 Egyptians.”'' Despite periods of martyrdom and persecution the number of believers continued to grow and the lives of the martyrs inspired many to the Christian faith. The following is not meant to be a complete list of Coptic (Egyptian) saints, rather a mere collection. ==Christian saints in the Coptic Orthodox Church==
