A Coptic priest performs a portion of the liturgy during preparations for the communion service.
This was part of the “transubstantiation” as the wine and bread are transformed into the body and blood of Christ. The big “bundle” in the center of the altar contains the bread and wine.
The Coptic language is as close as we can come to hearing the sound of the ancient Egyptian language.
