welcome

Its disgraceful that something like this should happen - where is respect?

who are you t[quote author=Amoussa01 link=topic=6425.msg85157#msg85157 date=1207415285] You guys are acting as if they made up the words. They got them from the only recording that was considered "authentic." Not only that, but they corrected the gr…

Firstly welcome Schoyen, As a church, we do not have the resources to produce our own Bible. Coptic is also a pretty dead language as you'll now, being a scholar, and is only used as far as I know in the Liturgical or Clergical services of the chur…

Well mate, your not alone. Neither does our church - all the hymns I know I have learnt in the last 5 years. I go online, download the hymn, listen to it on my i-Pod, and i've got it. Believe me there is nothing stopping you becoming a "muallem" if …

To summarise, Zakhary hit the nail on the head: the number 144,000 is symbolic, meaning that many more people will go to heaven on Judgement Day. It has absolutely nothing to do with the numbers of Christians dwindling or anything like that. It is s…

:D thanks mina you legend

no such thing

Im with PopeKyrilos. Neither sugar nor salt is put in orban as God requires no adjusting or alterations to himself.

Sorry its been a while since i posted, but Mina, i still disagree with your opinion on Pavlos. "The general tune" you mentioned, but it is too vague a description to put on a hymn. I think you said something like "as long as you don't do anything ou…

First of all hello Godblessu Secondly, you have a slight problem. Cheating is wrong, and you should not let your friend copy off of you, as this is both unfair on you and her and everybody else taking this exam, and it is also a sin Leviticus 19:…

Yes, after the 1st, 2nd and 4th the congregation responds with alleluia, but not on the paralex, no.3

I agree 100% His Saint

No mina, they don't say the lahn hos erof - but anyway, maybe its a bad example, and simply due to time restriction as jydeacon (but i dont agree totally, as in the monastery why should there be time restrictions? Tasbeha continues literally all nig…

In hymns in general? If so I'll give you an example. Take "esmo epchois" the Midnight tasbeha hymn at the end of the Third Hoos. Listen to the first section of "esmo epchois" by the monks of Sourian monastery here:http://tasbeha.org/mp3/Praises/Midn…

No, there is more to it than that, the hymns although correspond with the words, does not mean that the melismata will be the same, but some alterations will inevitably spring up due to different cantor's additions to the hymn. Where you draw the li…

when i say he's a saint im not meaning that in a canonical sense, but rather that he is a righteous person - like when abouna says "The holies for the holy" he is referring to the congeregation, but I'm sorry to confuse anyone
-
so whats the point your trying to make?
-
hi copt4eva. The psalms in Holy week are sung in the adreeby tune (named after the paharonic city of Atrib, where the tune originated), and the conventional way of learning them is to learn Ke eperto, the introduction to the gospel, as the psalms a…
-
a valid point - but I suppose it is too difficult for every single hymn to have a full preservation of the melismata - the years are many, and every mu'allem makes some alterations, if unknowingly, by even perhaps a hazza this way or that.

Abouna Fanous is a saint. I have visited him once in his cell in the monastery, and I have some photos of him with us. All I know of him though, is that during prayer, his hands are said to be luminous, and ever since this incident occured, he wears…
-
The introduction py Fr. Isaiah is not the problem - it is part of the beauty of the him, with the contrasting introduction that as Amoussa01 pointed is not 7azayny at all, and the ashopi part of the paralex. Personally I think that Fr. Isaiah's vers…

i dont have a problem with confessing using msn etc. Using the video call is really useful especially if you do not frequently see your priest.
-
perhaps its because you are closer to your friend than you are to God? or perhaps because because you have doubts that God is listening to you? pray and do not have doubts saying: "I believe Lord, help me overcome my disbelief" pray for me joe

absolutely wondeful karas7 :D

thanks all and mina that would be appreciated

tayeb ya ostaz gergesezzat, el la7n 3bar 3an: [coptic]

like zakhary i'm a little confused. Do you mean the processional hymn, ekhristos anesti, or do you mean the resurrection reenactment?
-
Hmmmm..... Try this: I'm not sure if any of these are Coptic only, but they might well be: http://www.saint-mary.net/hymnology/divine_liturgies/st_gregory/
