Pope Zacharias of Alexandria was the Coptic Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of St. Mark from 1004 to 1032. He is commemorated in the Coptic Synaxarion on the 13th day of Hathor.
According to Abu al-Makarim, writing in the last quarter of the twelfth century, Zacharias was the last Patriarch of Alexandria to send letters to the rulers of Nubia and Ethiopia, having been forbidden to do so by the Fatimid Caliph Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah. Nevertheless, if the Caliph or his vizier received a letter from either ruler, it remained the duty of the Patriarch to write a reply.[1]
Pope Zacharias was buried in Saint Mary Church (Babylon Al-Darag) in Coptic Cairo.
