Coptic Egyptian and Armenian culture

[Hyegirl]

Does anyone know much about the similarities and differences between Coptic Egyptians and Armenians (at least the Orthodox Armenians)?

Off the top of my head, the first difference that comes to mind is that we celebrate Christmas on January 6 while the Copts celebrate it on January 7.

Hyegirl I am glad you are sticking around this forum. BTW, why the question? Do you have ghbdi (Copt) friends?

Thank you and thank you for the reply. I am an aspiring author in a research/development stage. I do also have a couple of Copt friends but not close friends (at least right now). I'm checking out a Coptic church more as well as a Greek church and met a few people at a student club a couple of years ago.

Ghbdi is Armenian for Copt?

Coptic Church like Armenian Apostolic is in communion with Oriental Orthodoxy and thus both reject council of Chalcedon, an important attribute.

Yes that is word in armenian.

Yes, in Western Armenian which I recall you saying you were. In Eastern Armenian it's ghpti. Ղպտի is how you write it.

Copts are nice people, often very religious. They are very proud to be Egyptian as well. Some Greeks (Julian calendar followers, a minority) and the Copts both celebrate Christmas on January 7.
