Pope Abraham of Alexandria was the 62nd Patriarch of the See of St. Mark, serving as the head of the Coptic Orthodox Church from 975 to 978. Originally a wealthy Syriac merchant living in Egypt, he was recognized for his deep piety and charitable nature. His election occurred after a two-year vacancy in the patriarchate, when he was unexpectedly chosen by church leaders during a meeting in Cairo. Following his selection, he was taken to Alexandria and consecrated to lead the Coptic community during the Fatimid Caliphate.
