Agrippinus of Alexandria

Saint Agrippinus was the tenth pope and patriarch of Alexandria, in the time of the emperor Marcus Aurelius. He was chosen by the people and clergy in 167, after the repose of Patriarch Celadion. The Coptic Church remembers him on 30 January, the fifth day of the Coptic month of Meshir.

He is known from the episcopal lists and from his Coptic Life. It says that he preached the word of God and taught the people the faith. He guarded his flock with all his strength, teaching it and praying for it. He did not seek to own silver or gold, except what was needed for his basic needs. Twelve years after he ascended the throne of Saint Mark, he reposed in peace, on 12 February 178.
