With the growing number of Coptic Orthodox people within the United States, we believe that now is the proper time the Coptic Orthodox holidays should be recognized.With the number of religious holidays already being observed we believe that Coptic Orthodox holidays also should be observed.Every holiday, many Coptic Orthodox families would have to choose between their child's education or observe their religious day. We ask President Obama to support this petition and allow the Coptic Orthodox holidays to be observed.
