  • I know how you feel man, i've been on this site for a long time and i was just today doing the same thing looking at old posts and what not. I feel at the same time we are missing some great posters that are not active or as active as they Used to b…
  • Its not wrong to listen to it, its only wrong to say it at any time during the liturgy. Epouro however is not a joyful hymn but an annual one, A couple of weeks ago we had a baptism and during the procession we sang Epouro and what do you know it wa…
  • They cast lots on a number of candidates and the final two are put on the alter with a blank paper upside down. Then i believe a child is supposed to come and chose the one, and if he choses the blank one that means God doesn't want either candidate…
  • Well first off, glad to see you are taking an initiative. During Holy week there is only one liturgy Held and that is on Muandy Thursday and the setup is not close to the way we do it usually. On Thursday its starts out like any other day with the F…
  • No i have no idea, this video was posted on coptichymns.net and it was orginally from alhan-youthbishopric.com so if you can read arabic, you might be able to look it up on the website and let us know

  • Well, the saints that are in the commemoration have been cannonized and therefore added to the commemoration of the saints. and to be cannonized it must at least be 50 years after their death. the one thing i know for sure is that Our father abba Jo…
  • Welcome, you will love this site as we all do
  • Yup the whole thing is prayed like that(at least from what i've seen) I'm near the end of the clip

  • you did nothing wrong for you not to be able to take communion, if your "friend" got upset it was not your fault but hers. If you committed no sin, and because you chose not to commit a sin, God will not tell you, noo you cannot take communion becau…
  • The problem is you don't have realplayer installed.
  • Thanks for sharing

  • Sorry for the confusion, it turns out you can't install fonts onto IE or Safari, at least to what i've tried. I had not been to remenkemi in a long time and didn't remember that the fonts don't work on the site. Last i went they were working. It see…
  • Well i wouldn't go so far as to say that we don't have faith commitment in our coptic texts the problem is we don't have the resouces to create a completely coptic Bible and then translate it into the language of interpretation whether it be arabic,…
  • First off, Welcome to the forum Schoyen. As all have said, there isn't a complete coptic Bible due to the lack of resources and of course i'm sure you know that Coptic has become a "dead" language in the sense that its not spoken anymore but only us…
  • I think what minagir is saying that it would be more appropriate to only have one cross to show that you carry your own and not everyone's ya3ni, but its just a symbolism, there is nothing wrong the one that has crosses all over
  • Well i'm sure they are gonna ask how he is and want to know what happened between you two and why you aren't going out anymore, especially since you thought of marriage with this person. So i think you should tell your parents and YOU MUST talk to a…
  • Psalms for Pascha? Psalms from the agpeya? Please specify
  • Its obvious its a sin, its a man. That therefore would make any relations you have with this person an abomination. This person is not a women in any true sense except physically. How can you not be disgusted by this?
  • Ilovesaintmark, I agree with everything except one point, the Stoles aren't to be worn just by the subdeacon and higher but by the Reader and higher(Aghnostos), Epsaltos was not originally part of the deaconate and therefore wasn't even supposed to …
  • I didn't say you were making it up I'm just saying you may be misinformed of what's happening. I have family in Egypt aswell and they haven't told us anything like that of course I may be wrong but I would like a source first. The people in Egypt ha…
  • I haven't heard this before, nor have i ever seen such a site that people kill for bread in egypt. I know that there are needy people there but not to that extreme. I don't know who's telling you this stuff but you should get your facts straight wit…
  • Of course this is a symbolic # i can't think of what it means now but its in the bible commentary by Fr. Tadros Malaty. In Paradise now there has to be more than 144,000 righteous people now.(of course i don't know that for sure) but to say that its…
  • [quote author=Amoussa01 link=topic=6425.msg85008#msg85008 date=1207176315] well, honestly i dont think that it makes much of a difference considering the fact that the words which are in the HCOC version are not Biblically wrong or against our faith…
  • [quote author=minagir link=topic=6425.msg84977#msg84977 date=1207151320] [quote author=jydeacon link=topic=6425.msg84974#msg84974 date=1207147131] In my opinion, the way the HCOC did it seems to be more valid(they do have a source recording backing …
  • [quote author=josephgabriel link=topic=6425.msg84980#msg84980 date=1207153771] HICS repeats the whole esmo epchois part again while the monks don't. Also, in the monastery, the hos erof hymn is ommited, and ari ho chasf is sadi straight away. A haz…
  • In my opinion, the way the HCOC did it seems to be more valid(they do have a source recording backing them up) because not one hymn during holy week(i feel at least) should be completely joyful in its tune, this recording is like every other hymn du…
  • Yes thats exactly what i was looking for, but i was pretty sure it was in a commentary as well. Thanks for that
  • Well i've never heard that there is a specific one or source that mentions how the badrashain should look, I myself have seen many many different styles of badrashein ranging from the colors to the design themselves. I've seen gold ones as well as r…
  • No there shouldn't be vespers, the liturgies are done in the evening therefore not making vespers something being able to be prayed. Vespers is supposed to be the night before the liturgy while matins is directly before
