Actually, O Kirios Meta sou is the ending of the hymn "Shere Theotoke" which is chanted right before Agios Estin. Usually Shere is not chanted, so instead people continue with its ending "O Kirios" after chanting Ekesmaroout.

Ey Kefas, since u wanted to be me, and I want to be you, what about a brain trade...we switch brains ;D. Maybe we can have a piece of Vassilios' brains as well bel marra ;)

There's a nice contemplation under the following link: http://www.copticheritage.org/PagEd+index-page_id-781.phtml Maybe u'll find an answer to your question there!

What a strange world we live in, nobody is happy with who they are. Everybody wants to be somebody else ??? :o

I know also that you, as monophysites, consider duophysitism to be heretical. This is a big subject, but I just felt the need to say that we are not monophysites, but actually miaphysites. We basically believe the same as Eastern Orthodox regarding …

welcome Lauren :) I'm old. Ya me too, ancient, but not as old as you Kefas ;D

When we pray a "sunday school" liturgy with a lot of young deacons at our church, we usually just chant the first part (ondos). The great thing about this particulair hymn is that you can choose what ever parts you want to chant, and u'll find a lot…

Circumcision was the symbol of the old covenant - baptism of the new. Is that not so? That's absolutely so, circumcision was a mere symbol and shadow of the coming baptism and the epistle to the Romans says so explicitely too. I was just sharing som…

I've wondered all my life what in the world the relation is between circumcision and baptism. I other words: why exactly was circumcision a symbol for baptism. I finally found a good answer in a sermon about the epistle to the Romans. To understand…

Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego are simply the Babylonian names given to Ananias, Azarias and Misael by the prince of the eunuchs. Daniel 1:6-7 Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: Unto whom the pri…

What if my name is Pierre ? Egyptians will pronounce that "Biere" which means "Beer".What if they think "beer" is wrong? Do we change our names because they are soo dumb to know the difference between "P"ierre and "B"iere??? What do we do!!??? Oh m…

ya it's an amazing hymn, enthoten, but you also forget it a amazingly fast, especially when you never ever chant it. I guess the solution is to skip the second part, because that is way too long to be chanted during a regular liturgy. I just wonder …

I just wrote a long post refuting one of the "rational arguments" that is presented in the first video. However, for some reason the window closed, and I really can't be bothered to re-type it, it's not even worth the time. Just assume from me that …

LOL, mina; Vassilios made that last part up because he sees so many churches with wrong teachings (and yes i knew it was the first annual aspasmos watos, but your made up alteration was the funny part ;D) (PS Vassilios, you didnt respond to my pm y…

O Lord of armies, behold and look at this vine, that which Your RIght Hand has planted!! It is burnt and weak, affirm and straighten her.... sorry, just had to mention that this is a very funny quote ;D anywayz, I have one small question to add to…

It is incorrect to chant eporo in the major tune in neknai opanooty, often you will see monks or some priests do, but FYI it is not right. Atleast dont do it EVERY time you say neknai. Could you please explain why it is incorrect? I know for sure th…

You guys are right, epouro is not a festive hymn per se (although I personally think the tune is joyfull, actually the last verse "Tenouwsht" is said as the joyfull gospel response), it clearly says in the Deacons Service book that it can be chanted…
-
Technically speaking most of these hymns (nee savev, ee aghapy, marouchasf, akchi etc) are ONLY chanted when a the Pope or a Bisschop is present physically like stated before. Some hymns can be chanted for the bisschop of the specific obrosheya (i …

ophadece and Vassilios, i'll pm you about the questions you had concerning the rites, and if anything usefull comes out, we can always post it. But first i'd like to let you know the following link for all sort of seasonal rites: http://www.coptic…

[quote author=Kyle link=topic=5300.msg70765#msg70765 date=1178676966] 2. no one can produce anything like the qu'ran, and they have tried but failed for thousands of years. is that true? [/quote] Just three simple examples from classic roman and gr…

thats really quite interesting.....do u have any sources or references? If you need information on gigantism, you can open up any medicine textbook, then look for a chapter about endocrinology (maybe u can even check wikipedia). The link with Goliat…

I've asked this question to a lot of priests, and the only answer I got was that we received these names from the Jewish tradition...maybe the names are mentioned in some kind of encyclopedia on Judaïsm!?

Now, this is what i think; I COULD be WRONG; but i've heard this from priests, who have said to people OPENLY to get married if they are suffering from burning passion etc. Just get married. And they said this with a touch of humour as if, "we've al…

Suprisingly enough Luther believed in her perpetual virginity, and was not against the veneration of St Mary. [She is the] highest woman and the noblest gem in Christianity after Christ . . . She is nobility, wisdom, and holiness personified. We can…

I heard an interesting theory on Goliath when we were studying endocrinology at uni. According to that theory Goliath was suffering from a pituitary tumor, which causes an increase in the release of Growth hormone. This hormone is responsible for gr…
