There is only one door or three doors as in EO chuches?
I think that there is some difference with EO also about when the curtain is open. Is it true?
Thankss!

Thank you for sharing. |

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 )
