The Coptic Church of the Annunciation is the name given to a Coptic church in the city of Nazareth, in northern Israel. It is dedicated to the Annunciation, not to be confused with the Catholic church of the same name (Basilica of the Annunciation) or the Maronite church in the same city. The Coptic community came to Nazareth late nineteenth century. The Church of the Annunciation was built in 1952 on the initiative of then Patriarch Basil. All construction work has been done voluntarily by members of the local Coptic community. Visiting the church is possible with an appointment.
