Coptic Christianity has its own set of symbols. The old Coptic cross bears strong influence from the Egyptian Ankh. Modern Coptic crosses often lose that influence, appearing as equal-armed crosses. However, modern Coptic organizations may still employ older symbols, sometimes returning to the ankh itself. Both the Christian cross and the ankh are strong symbols of eternal life and resurrection, so the connection can be easy to make.
