The 'Alexandrian Rite' is officially called the
Liturgy of
Saint Mark, traditionally regarded as the first bishop of Alexandria. Their present liturgy contains elements of
Byzantine Rite of
Saint Basil and the Liturgies of Saints Mark,
Cyril, and
Gregory Nazianzus. This rite is divided into two rites, that is, The
Coptic Rite and the
Ge'ez Rite. Primarily located in
Egypt, The Coptic Rite uses the
Coptic and
Arabic language in its liturgy at both
Coptic Orthodox Church and
Coptic Catholic Church. Living in
Ethiopia,
Eritrea,
Jerusalem, and
Somalia, The Ge'ez Rite is used at both
Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church,
Eritrean Orthodox Church, and
Ethiopian Catholic Church in their liturgies.
