Searching for Relics

in Coptic Orthodox Church

I am looking for any church or monastery that has the relics of Sts. Demian and Cosmas in the Coptic church. Preferably in North America, but I would be interested in learning about the presence of their relics in the Coptic churches or monasteries throughout the world as well. Does anyone know where I can find this?

    Are you just curious for the history or are you really looking to find Their Relic’s?

    I’m really looking to find the relics. A simple google search for Coptic churches in their name hasn’t yielded anything.

    Would this be for a new church starting out or for what?
  • copticgirl777
    No. It’s not for a new church. It’s for personal reasons only. Do you know if any churches or monasteries that house their relics?

    widen your search for non coptic orthodox churches.
    i have been to this one for a brief visit to pray:
    and think they have relics. it was during the time of restrictions on touching stuff in church, so i didn't look for any relics, but they usually have them if the church is in their name.

    send me a personal message with your email address if you intend to come to uk and i can ask them. it is about a mile from another greek orthodox church where i know people, so i can ask them to find out.
    probably there is one closer to you than this one!

    Thanks for that! I was really hoping to find a Coptic church with their relics...we have a few Eastern Orthodox churches on this side of the pond that do house their relics but was hoping to stay within the Coptic church if that was possible.

    You'd probably have better luck finding them in a Catholic church. I did see a Russian Orthodox site selling a piece of their relics, but it wasn't cheap and I'm not sure of the authenticity. They are venerated a lot in Catholicism, and I believe most of their relics are in Italy, Portugal and Germany. Good luck, nonetheless. They are great for the medical field!

    jojo hanna, it sounds like u r planning to smuggle the relics out of your church for a private veneration!
    :-O
