Emva kokuba amaKristu ebhiyozele iCawa yePasika, eTurboNews utsalela ingqalelo kwinkolo yeCoptic kunye nobugcisa bayo obucebileyo kunye nelifa lemveli lenkcubeko.
UMamdouh Halim wase-Al Qahirah e-Egypt ucacisa ukuba kubekho impembelelo enzulu kubomi bamandulo baseYiputa kumculo wenkolo obalaseleyo weCawa yamaCopt Orthodox ukusukela oko yasekwa ngu-St. Mark the Evangelist ngenkulungwane yokuqala ye-AD.
“Icawe yamaCopt luzuko lwamandulo lwamaJiphutha,” utshilo uGqirha Taha Husayn oyingcaphephe edumileyo yaseYiphutha malunga necawa yobuKristu.
Ngapha koko, uHalim ukholelwa ukuba umculo wokomoya wecawa ngowona utyebileyo kwihlabathi liphela, njengoko ngandlela thile uvuselela umculo ofanayo nalowo wawusenziwa ngexesha likaFaro. Emva kokuba amaCopt amkele inkolo entsha, ubuKristu, abazukulwana bakaFaro babetyekele ekuqulunqeni iingoma zabo zokomoya ngokwesiseko somculo owawusele ukho kwixesha labo, wongeze watsho uHalim.
Ngeminyaka yee-1990, icawa yakhupha umyalelo wokuvalwa kokusetyenziswa kwezixhobo zomculo, ngaphandle kweentambula nezinye izixhobo eziphambili, ukuze kuphazamiseke ingqalelo yabasemagunyeni baseRoma ababetshutshisa amaKristu ngelo xesha. Bagqiba ekubeni baxhomekeke kumandla engqula yabo. Ukuza kuthi ga namhlanje, icawa idlala amaculo ngokuxhomekeke kwiingoma zamandulo zase-Egypt, ngakumbi ngeVeki yePassion apho benza umculo, oqhelekileyo kwimisitho yomngcwabo kumawaka eminyaka eyadlulayo.
Ngokukwanjalo, iMyuziyam yaseCoptic yinguqulelo yomoya odlamkileyo weCoptc kwimisebenzi yabo yobugcisa. Imyuziyam yaseCoptic eCairo enyanisweni, yaqala njengemyuziyam yecawa de umseki wayo uMarcus Simaika Pasha, ngokungadinwa nangokuzimisela okukhulu kunye nombono wombono, wenza isiseko seMyuziyam yeCoptic epheleleyo ngo-1908.
Ngo-1910, kwavulwa imyuziyam yaseCoptic kwikomkhulu laseYiputa. Iqulethe izahlulo ezininzi ezibonisa iindidi ezininzi zeCoptic Art. Uninzi lwezinto ezixabisekileyo zemyuziyam yimifanekiso yamandulo eyaqala ngenkulungwane ye-12. Ngaphandle kwezinto zakudala ezivela kwi-200-1800 AD ebonisa impembelelo yamandulo yaseYiputa kuyilo lwamaKristu okuqala (njengeminqamlezo yobuKristu ephuhliswe kwi-Pharaonic Ankh okanye isitshixo sobomi), imyuziyam inemibhalo-ngqangi yamandulo ekhanyisiweyo efana nekopi ye-1,600 yeminyaka ubudala. kwiNdumiso kaDavide. Ukongeza, ipulpiti yamatye endala eyaziwayo evela kwi-St. Jeremiah monastery eSaqqara eyeyenkulungwane ye-6 igcinwe apho.
Okubalulekileyo, kwiimyuziyam ezine eziphambili e-Egypt, iMyuziyam yaseCoptic yiyo kuphela eyasekwa nguSimaika Pasha. Akazange afune ukuqokelela izinto zobugcisa ezixabisekileyo kuphela kodwa waqinisekisa nokuba zigcinwe kwindawo ebonakalayo nevumelana nenkcubeko yazo. Uhlaziyo lwakutsha nje lwemyuziyam luhlonipha inkumbulo kaPasha.
Ngo-1989, iMyuziyam yaseCoptic eCairo yaqalisa iprojekthi yokubuyisela ii-icon ngentsebenziswano nommi waseDatshi uSusanna Shalova. Ngenxa yoko, iCawa yamaCoptic Orthodox kunye neBhunga eliPhezulu lezinto zamandulo baxhasa ukubalwa kweprojekthi enkulu, ukuthandana kunye nokuphonononga ii-icon ezingaphezu kwama-2000. Le projekthi yaxhaswa ngemali yiZiko loPhando laseMelika.
U-Emile Hanna, ingcaphephe yokubuyisela kwimyuziyam yaseCoptic, uthe ii-icon ezingama-31 zeMyuziyam yaseCoptic zibuyiselwe ngokuhambelana nemigaqo yesikolo esidala sokubuyiselwa, ngaphandle kobunzima ekubuyiseleni imiboniso yenkulungwane ye-17-19.
Ngeentsuku apho uSimaika Pasha wayecinga ngokwakha imyuziyam yaseCoptic kwisithili esidala saseCairo, wakhetha iimotifs ezazisetyenziswa kwi-façade ye-mosque edumileyo ye-Al-Aqmar. Oku kuqinisekisa imvisiswano edibanisa iinkolo nempucuko yaseYiputa. Imvisiswano, nangona kunjalo, ayizange ithintele ukhuphiswano oluphakamileyo phakathi kwemiboniso yezikhumbuzo ze-Pharaonic kunye nezikhumbuzo zeCoptic. Le yokugqibela, ukongeza ukubamba ixabiso lembali, ikwaphethe ixabiso lenkolo nelokomoya, amabali abangcwele kunye neempawu zenkolo yamaCopt Orthodox, eyenza izikhumbuzo zeCoptic zingabi naxabiso lingaphantsi kunezo zikaFaro.
