An Architectural and Historical Tour of Ambridge Churches
St. Mary's Byzantine, St. John Lutheran, and St. Mary's Coptic

St. Mary's Coptic Orthodox Church was consecrated in February, 2006 by Pope Shenouda III of the ancient Coptic Orthodox Church in Egypt. St. Mary's is the only Coptic (Egyptian) church in the region. The icons that adorn the church came from Egypt and were set up by eight men who traveled with the icons from Egypt, and lived in the church for two weeks while completing the work. The iconostasis, icons, and marble altar were all hand-carved and "written" in Egypt.
