@Zoxasasi: "For goodness sake, God gives you a partner and you should be thankful. Period."What in the world does this mean?! you are saying that God is the one who is arranging these marriages--an angel came from heaven and told that person, take t…
i think there is a mistake in the senixar.http://www.copticchurch.net/synaxarium/6_14.htmlhttp://www.copticchurch.net/synaxarium/6_9.html
amshir 14 and 9 are the same here.
it's not really a 'new' senixar per se....but it's an 'edited' senixar. I think it's either published by El-sorian monastery but it's really the work of many bishops through the years. I don't think the feast days for saints was changed but they pro…
I can't answer all of these. Albair might be the best person. For:(2) The rite was placed after the glorification rite.(4) I am with you on that.
I think the whole service was put together to fit a glorification or the Taqdees service in (following…
No. the mayamer text are different. I THINK Elsorian or elbaramous monastery have a book published with the different mayamer that can be said. He does give the order of the service and a short bg. When i get home i'll try to translate it.

Incense are always set to be used within church. at home, or outside church, the in…

The issue is that when people say somatos, they tend to always say the lent one, je fe-etav-ernistavin.
Lent refa3 weekend: there are special readings. Everything, us the same till the gospel response of sunday and there starts lent rite with je peniot and lent rite.
Saturday and Sunday before Jonah's there is nothing different but some people starte…
Well lents liturgies are strict to be at night. You are supposed to finish liturgy at Vespers time so it doesn't make sense to start a service for the next day. I hope others have better explanations and sources. This is just my thought.
About the …
hehe. Holy Sepulchre is in Jerusalem, a separate diocese that has it's own rite in many thing. The fact that Metropolitan Abraham is consider and Patriarch is interesting by itself.
Abouna Metias of the Church of Ethiopia should now be added but i heaven't sent a book that is printed recent enough to have it. I am not sure about the Patriarchs of the Armenian church
