Ancient Egyptian legacies in Coptic practices
Votive offerings, sacrificial rituals, tattoos, and an icon procession. There are many different legacies between Coptic and ancient Egyptian practices.This study aims to shed light on the origins of some current Coptic ritual practices and compare them to ancient Egypt by presenting some inherited rituals that have survived from ancient Egypt to the present day. The analytical documentation approach will be used with a tourism study to achieve the objectives of this thesis.The objectives of this thesis reveal that the Coptic legacies inherited from ancient Egypt contribute to understanding the cultural and historical heritage of Egypt and linking the past to the present, as these legacies reflect the overlap of the Ancient Egypt and Coptic civilizations, as these rituals continued through the ages, providing an opportunity for a deeper understanding of the social and religious development in Egypt.
