The 55-Day Spiritual Revolution of Coptic Lent
Discover how the Coptic Orthodox Church transforms Lent into an intense 55-day journey of three sacred fasts, creating what Pope Shenouda III calls 'spiritual reserve for the whole year.'
Best quote from The 55-Day Spiritual Revolution of Coptic Lent
The Coptic Church considers Lent a period of spiritual reserve for the whole year; if you don't benefit spiritually from these most sacred days, you'll hardly benefit from the rest of the year.
