We seldom hear about Coptic Christians.
Egypt's Coptic Pope Shenuda III, spiritual leader of the Middle East's largest Christian minority, died at the age of 88, state television and cathedral sources said.
The cause of death was not immediately clear, but the Christian leader has suffered health problems for years.
