Saint Mary and Saint Abasikhyron Coptic Orthodox Church
The second Coptic Orthodox Church in Wales was bought by the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Midlands in 2005 under the supervision of H.G. Bishop Missael as Coptic Orthodox services began there later that year.
At first the Church did not have its own Priest, therefore the mass was held there on Saturdays by a visiting priest, Father Bishoy, from the Coptic Orthodox Church in Manchester. However, nowadays, the Church has its own priest, Fr. John Saleeb.
Address: 25 Trinity Avenue, Llandudno, North Wales.
The church was consecrated by Pope Shenouda III during a visit to the UK on Saturday 29 March 2008.

Famous quotes containing the words saint, orthodox and/or church:
“A few hours’ mountain climbing turns a rogue and a saint into two roughly equal creatures. Weariness is the shortest path to equality and fraternity—and liberty is finally added by sleep.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“If the jests that you crack have an orthodox smack,
You may get a bland smile from these sages;
But should it, by chance, be imported from France,
Half-a-crown is stopped out of your wages!”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
“A little black thing among the snow
Crying “’weep, ‘weep,” in notes of woe!
“Where are thy father & mother? say?”
“They are both gone up to the church to pray.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
