Pope Alexander II of Alexandria
Pope Alexander II of Alexandria (Coptic: AΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟC), 43rd Pope of Alexandria & Patriarch of the See of St. Mark.
He presided over his church during an era of great hardship and oppression.
==Consecration==
There is little information available on Alexander's early life as a layman prior to becoming a monk at the monastery of Enaton west of Alexandria. However, at Enaton he became well known for his chastity, sanctity, and religious scholarship. Upon the death of Simeon of Alexandria in 701, the Patriarchate of Alexdandria remained vacant for approximately four years, while the members of the church sought an appropriate successor. The lack of a patriarch, though, created economic problems for the church, so the secretary of state, or ''mutawallī al-diwān'' in Alexandria, a Copt named Athanasius, asked the governor to allow the bishop of al-Qays, Anbā Gregorius, to assume authority over the church's finances until a new patriarch would be elected. The governor, Abd al-Malik agreed, which allowed the selection of a patriarch to take top priority. Athanasius gathered together all the Coptic scribes, clergy, and bishops, and the group unanimously selected Alexander based on his sterling reputation. Alexander was then taken to Alexandria to be consecrated.〔Atiya, Aziz S.. ''The Coptic Encyclopedia''. New York:Macmillan Publishing Company, 1991. ISBN 0-02-897025-X.〕
