Today, Egypt is a majority-Muslim, Arabic-speaking country. Yet, before its violent conquest by Islam in the seventh century, it was a majority-Christian nation that was mostly inhabited by its indigenous people, the Copts. 

Coptic Christians are deeply rooted in ancient Egyptian traditions through language, liturgical music, and ritual symbolism. They have preserved a cultural identity that long predates the Islamic conquest of Egypt.
