Coptic sure looks and reads like Greek, doesn't it? 
Very beautiful photos indeed!

How the Orthodox interpret scripture: "Certain brethren came and asked Abba Anthony a question about the Book of the Levites, and the old man went forth to the desert, and Abba Ammon, who knew his habit, followed him secretly. And when the old man had gone some distance, he cried out with a loud voice, and said. "O God, send Moses unto me, and let him teach me [the meaning of] this verse;" and straightway a voice was heard holding converse with him. Now Abba Ammon heard this voice, and said, "I heard the voice which spake with him, but the force of the verse I never learned." – The Paradise of the Holy Fathers

Yes coptic does look like greek because it has the same alphabet as greek, except for two letters which actually originate from hieroglyphics. |

Jesus Is Risen, Indeed he is risen! וַיִּקַץ כְּיָשֵׁן אֲדֹנָי; כְּגִבּוֹר, מִתְרוֹנֵן מִיָּיִן.
וַיִּבֶן כְּמוֹ-רָמִים, מִקְדָּשׁוֹ; כְּאֶרֶץ, יְסָדָהּ לְעוֹלָם.
(תהילים פרק עח פסוק סה,סט) Lord awoke as from sleep, Like a mighty man who shouts because of wine. And He built His sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which He has established forever. (Psalms 78:65,69) | | |
