List of saints from Africa : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of saints from Africa
This page is a list of saints, blesseds, venerables, and Servants of God from Africa, as recognized by the Roman Catholic Church. These people were born, died, or lived their religious life in any of the states or territories of Africa. The history of Catholicism in Africa can be dated to Apostolic times, with the Ethiopian eunuch, or even before, with Christ's flight into Egypt. Undoubtedly, it dates from the first century, as the Patriarchate of Alexandria dates from then. In the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries it is the fastest-growing field for Catholicism. ==Before the Arab Conquest==
In the first centuries of the Church, Africa produced many of her leading lights. The Catholic presence in Africa was weakened by the schism following the Council of Chalcedon which resulted in the separation between the Catholic and Coptic Orthodox Church, and even more so by the rise of Islam. Following the Arab conquest of northern Africa, the Catholic Church was largely absent from the continent before modern times, although the Coptic, and later Ethiopic, Orthodox Churches remained. The following are some of the notable saints from the first to seventh centuries, though it is a very incomplete list.
