Ngemva kokuba amaKristu egubhe iSonto lePhasika, eTurboNews idonsela ukunaka enkolweni yamaCopt kanye nobuciko bayo obucebile namagugu amasiko.

UMamdouh Halim we-Al Qahirah e-Egypt uchaza ukuthi kube nethonya elijulile lempilo yaseGibhithe lasendulo emculweni wenkolo ovelele weSonto Lobu-Orthodox LamaCoptic kusukela lasungulwa okokuqala nguSt. Mark the Evangelist ngekhulu lokuqala AD.

“Isonto lamaCopt liwudumo lwaseGibhithe lasendulo,” kusho umcabango ovelele wase-Egypt uDkt. Taha Husayn ngebandla lobuKristu elivelele.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, uHalim ukholelwa ukuthi umculo wokomoya wesonto ucebe kakhulu emhlabeni wonke, njengoba ngandlela thize uvuselela umculo ofana nalowo owake wenziwa ngesikhathi sikaFaro. Ngemuva kokuthi amaCopt amukele inkolo entsha, ubuKristu, abazukulu bakaFaro babethambekele ekuqambeni izingoma zabo zokomoya ngesisekelo somculo owawukhona wesikhathi sabo, kwengeza uHalim.

Ngawo-1990, isonto lakhipha isimemezelo sokuvinjelwa kokusetshenziswa kwezinsimbi zomculo, ngaphandle kwamathamborini nezinye izinsimbi zomculo eziyinhloko, ukuze kuphazamiseke ukunaka kweziphathimandla zamaRoma ezazishushisa amaKristu ngaleso sikhathi. Kunalokho banquma ukuncika emandleni omphimbo wabo. Kuze kube namuhla, isonto lidlala izingoma zokudumisa ngokuya ngezingoma zasendulo zaseGibhithe, ikakhulukazi phakathi Nesonto Lokuhlushwa lapho benza khona umculo, okujwayelekile emikhosini yomngcwabo ezinkulungwaneni zeminyaka edlule.

Ngokufanayo, iCoptic Museum iyinguqulo yomoya weCoptc osebenzayo emisebenzini yabo yobuciko. ICoptic Museum eCairo empeleni, yaqala njengemnyuziyamu yesonto kwaze kwaba umsunguli wayo uMarcus Simaika Pasha, ngokungakhathali nangokuzimisela okukhulu nomuzwa wokubona, waqala ukwakha uMnyuziyamu ogcwele weCoptic ngo-1908.

Ngo-1910, kwavulwa umnyuziyamu wamaCoptic enhlokodolobha yaseGibhithe. Iqukethe izigaba ezimbalwa ezethula izinhlobo ezimbalwa ze-Coptic Art. Izinto eziyigugu kakhulu zemnyuziyamu yizithombe zasendulo ezihlehlela emuva ekhulwini le-12. Ngaphandle kwezinto zobuciko ezingavamile zango-200-1800 AD ezibonisa ithonya laseGibhithe lasendulo ekwakhiweni kobuKristu bokuqala (njengeziphambano zobuKristu ezakhiwe zisuka ku-Pharaonic Ankh noma ukhiye wokuphila), imnyuziyamu inemibhalo yesandla yasendulo ekhanyisiwe efana nekhophi eneminyaka engu-1,600 ubudala. lamaHubo kaDavide. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ipulpiti lamatshe elidala elaziwayo elivela esigodlweni sezindela sase-St. Jeremiah e-Saqqara okungelekhulu le-6 ligcinwa lapho.

Ngokuphawulekayo, eminyuziyamu emine emikhulu yaseGibhithe, iCoptic Museum iyona kuphela eyasungulwa nguSimaika Pasha. Akazange nje afise ukuqoqa izinto zobuciko eziyigugu kodwa waqinisekisa nokuthi zigcinwa endaweni ebonakalayo ehambisana nesiko elimele. Ukulungiswa kwakamuva komnyuziyamu kuhlonipha inkumbulo kaPasha.

Ngo-1989, iCoptic Museum eCairo yaqala iphrojekthi yokubuyisela izithonjana ngokubambisana nesakhamuzi saseDashi uSusanna Shalova. Ngenxa yalokho, iSonto Lobu-Orthodox LamaCoptic kanye noMkhandlu Ophakeme Wezinto Zasendulo basekela ukubalwa kwephrojekthi enkulu, ukuqomisana nokubuyekeza izithonjana ezingaphezu kuka-2000. Le phrojekthi ixhaswe yi-American Research Center.

U-Emile Hanna, uchwepheshe wokubuyisela emnyuziyamu wamaCoptic, uthe ziningi izithonjana ezingama-31 ezivela eCoptic Museum sezibuyiselwe ngokuhambisana nemigomo yesikole esidala sokubuyisela, naphezu kobunzima bokubuyisela imibukiso yekhulu le-17-19.

Ezinsukwini lapho uSimaika Pasha ecabanga ukwakha umnyuziyamu wamaCoptic esifundeni sase-Old Cairo, wakhetha imidwebo eyayisetshenziswa ku-façade ye-mosque edumile i-Al-Aqmar. Lokhu kuqinisekisa ukuvumelana okuhlanganisa izinkolo nempucuko yaseGibhithe. Ukuvumelana, nokho, akuzange kuvimbele ukuncintisana okuphakeme phakathi kwemibukiso yezikhumbuzo ze-Pharaonic kanye nezikhumbuzo zesiCoptic. Lesi sakamuva, ngaphezu kokubamba ukubaluleka komlando, siphinde sibe nenani lezenkolo nelokomoya, izindaba zabangcwele nezimpawu zenkolo yamaCopt Orthodox, okwenza izikhumbuzo zesiCoptic zingabi yigugu kangako kunalezo zikaFaro.
