With iconography, the style of icons often varies with the Christian tradition in which they were developed. The coptic tradition of iconography has a unique style dating back to the earliest of known icons. At left is a coptic icon of Saint Menas from the 7th century. Saint Anthony Coptic Orthodox Monastery in the deserts of California keeps up the Coptic tradition of iconography with modern icons in the ancient Egyptian Christian style.
