Stunning, priceless, amazing, and glorious!! Someday, when I'm able to make a pilgrimage of sorts to the middle east, I must stop there and see where my ancient brethren have ministered. Thank you for posting these pictures.

The Coptic Church has three altars , the main one in the middle and others on left and right ofcourse with three doors for every one its door , durin the liturgy the priest open the curtain and the door , i don't think it is much diffrent than the EO ( there is a pic for the middle door and the left one up )

Just to clarify this, not all Coptic Churches have three altars. Some only have one. However it is fairly common for Churches to have more than one, partly because of the need for the altar to fast prior to Holy Communion.

The most unusual case I've seen would be the Coptic Orthodox Church in Adelaide which has an altar outside with a moat around it in addition to those in the Church.
