Sounds very similar to the prayers in the Agpeya, particularly the one in the sixth hour. But I don't know of any hymn with the exact same words. Perhaps it's somewhere in the list of Theotokias we have.
I'm not sure I understand your question. There was a thread about the book of Enoch here:

Hopefully, it answers your question. If not, we can continue the discussion th…
You make good points. However, I need to disagree with you on the science. The more memorization senses you use, the more parts of your brain is being used, and the more the memory becomes stronger. So we hear the hymn chanted, we read the notati…
Interesting! I suppose the reason I worry is the hazaat we have is very personalized, whereas the musical notes are more universal in character. On this sense, perhaps, I would be making a big deal in having them transcribed into musical notations…
When one realizes that the titles given to St. Mary are titles we can inherit ourselves based on our efforts of righteousness under the grace of God, they are more than deserving of her in her honor. Already in the very beginning, around the second…
Sorry irishpilgrim, this is all that I found.
mcarmichael,
Why do you get irritated? Why not rejoice with St. Elizabeth who felt honored that the mother of Her Lord should appear to her?
It would be somewhat of an interesting experiment to see if we give musical notes to a musician who has never heard of coptic music before and see if they can reproduce them
The Coptic tradition has been recorded in the 6th Century by Pope St. Theodosius:

Fr. Athanasius Iskander summarizes this homily:

Here are some images to help you out to see what I mean, focus on the arrows in the first image, which is unhighlighted:

Notice how when you highlight this area, you see these empty squares:

It's tricky...unfortunately, I remember clicking on bookmark by accident, but it's hidden. If you highlight the area, you'll find the hidden square, so you can reclick on that square
Mabsoota, you didn't know? For a couple of months now a new diocese has been formed in the US (New York and New England states), and HG Bishop David has been the first official diocesan bishop for it
I didn't mean my first example as "odd", but the example given by Rem was odd. But then again, the summarized version: "Church of the Unwed Bride" does not sound odd, perhaps, and it just reminded me of the "Queen Mary and Prince Tadros" example th…
Just to add to Rem's post, I have it from good authority that Pope St. Kyrillos VI did not like men who wore short sleeves to Church (good authority meaning my uncle who was rebuked for his short sleeves by the saint), and this is consistent with mo…
There is a new Coptic parish now, guided by Fr. Tadros Malaty in NJ. It's called "Queen Mary and Prince Tadros" Church. When would titles for a saint cross the line into oddity? And another question, would something like "Our Lady of Zeitoun" be …
Here's another exciting one I just found out. The English word "Chemistry" in relation to the Arabic word "Al Kimya" comes from the Coptic word "Kemi", which means "Egypt". Chemistry pretty much means "The Egyptian science"
