Photos of Coptic Monks and Coptic
Monasteries
 The Copts of Egypt are one of the oldest Christian communities in the
world. The Copts of Egypt today have one of the richest spiritual treasuries
available to the world -- Coptic monks and monasteries following the ancient spiritual
traditions of the Coptic Church. Thousands of people have visited Inner Light
Productions to view Coptic monastery photos from Egypt where many of the monks and
monasteries of the Coptic Church are located. We have photos of Coptic monks at work
and at prayer, showing how they live their lives according to the ancient traditions of
the Coptic Orthodox Church. These photos were made in the Coptic monasteries
of the Red Sea, Wadi Natrun, and Upper and Middle Egypt where the Coptic monks of today
live in monasteries that in some cases are over a thousand years old.
In addition to our Coptic monastery photos, we also
have a lot of information on the ancient Desert Fathers and Mothers of the Coptic Church
and the Eastern Orthodox Churches -- those men and women of the Egyptian Desert, as well
as the Deserts of Palestine and the Holy Land. The Copts of Egypt have preserved
these rich traditions and places of spiritual struggle and now you can visit them through
our photo gallery. These men and women of the desert fought all the same battles we
fight today in the spiritual life and there is much we can learn by reading of their
struggles, triumphs, and failures.
There are currently two galleries of monastery photos
available:
Inner Light Productions also offers a free
weekly newsletter on the teachings of the Desert Fathers. For monastery
photos and information on the Coptic and Eastern Orthodox Churches, Inner Light
Productions is perhaps the best source on the Web!
