Hi @Zoxsasi where have you been man? Look, to make it easier it is like this:
Humans = body + soul + spirit
Animals = body + soul
When humans die the spirit lives on. The spirit is a human spirit protected by God's spirit in us Christians, and not…
Thanks @minasafwat.. The interesting thing is that Albair and his choir sing the wrong text. That not only does it not make sense but also is completely jumbled up and reflects ignorance.. I am sure you don't want me to translate the words but I wil…
I never heard that hymn before. When is it supposed to be said? At the distribution? The text on this website is full of grammar and spelling mistakes, I wonder what is the source and history of the hymn?

Hi @georgemelek
The answer to the first question is yes, but I wonder if the original rite was for a litany before each Gospel! However the current practice is to sing the first psalm in a festive tune and the second one before the fourth Gospel in …
Dear @georgemelek,
The whole controversy about the Coptic Church's Greco-Bohairic pronunciation vs the more authentic one that very few hymns were recorded with. The problem with cantor Ibrahim and the cathedral chorus is that they keep inventing an…
Dear @theophilos,
Thank you very much for your reply.. I e-mailed the servants on the website my response, and I look forward to hearing their opinions..

Thanks dear @tenooshtIn answer to your question @Jojo_Hanna, I would not be able to answer all aspects, but at least I could say that the practice is quite old (not very recent). - Why should it not be said, is exactly like what @mnhanna9 said befor…
Hi @Jojo_Hanna,
I guess you are asking me why, but in my fear of sounding ignorant, you may be agreeing! Please tell me what you mean by "wdym"?

Strictly speaking, baklaos ghar should not be said in either St Basil or St Cyril liturgies, but people do not actually know (or care) about what @mnhanna9 just explained..

Hi all,
Below is the corrected version of the Arabic critical appraisal of Fr Youhanna Nassif's thesis - I had to make some changes, additions and corrections, and also embellish the text.. Looking forward to your opinions..

Hi @mabsoota,
Thank you very much for your comment. Please remember that the paragraph you are referring to is purely hypothetical because the calculations for the feast of resurrection and consequently the apostles fast and feast will all move too.…
Dear @copticmercy,
I am not going to repeat anything @ItalianCoptic had said as I fully agree with him. I also know of other priests who will be of the opinion of your FoC. My FoC is actually the same. That opens up another question for me which @It…
Dear @ItalianCoptic, I am so sorry for the late reply. You know I can't agree more with your statement that God's miracles are unseen and probably unfelt too. I am similar in a way that I was away from the church for a long long time and was only pu…
@ItalianCoptic, I can't tell you how happy I am to hear we are in agreement, and more importantly your views for the future of the church under your leadership.. May God bless your service always and give you the wisdom and the strength to tolerate …
Dear @SaintJaneDoe,
I very much appreciate and commend your stance in defending the minorities and the indigenous people.. God bless you and bless your service. Please do not forget to mention me and my wife in your prayers always..
Dear @ItalianCo…
Dear @SaintJaneDoe,First of all I am sorry for what you have gone through.. Secondly, let me address some points that you and @ItalianCoptic have said, admitting that you may not like what I am going to say very much. You see I have lived in Egypt u…
Hi @George27
This hymn bears no relation to swtais amen. This hymn is called Alleluja oblations and is said during the selection of the lamb. It is usually skipped altogether because people mistakenly say Kyrialayson which is essentially the end of …
