  • [quote author=Unworthy1 link=topic=10941.msg132428#msg132428 date=1299616572] If certain deacons remain persistent in not changing to "A-Isos" what is one to do? [/quote] pray for them.  :)
  • Al-naqous=al-naous does mean cymbals. we now call it "daff." many old deacons (age-wise) would still call a daff a nakous. arba' alnakous just means= verses of cymbals.
  • [quote author=Cyril97 link=topic=10929.msg132307#msg132307 date=1299545594] Why? Isn't fasting a joyful thing according to the church? I know that Meghalo is joyful anwe say it the first Monday of the fast to symbolise the church is joyful entering …
  • I support what JY said. to add, the deacon also hold the cross during any of the procession. the "bishara", the gospel as we say in english is put aside mainly for the litany of the Gospel only. but what is done now is that you let little deacons do…
  • [quote author=ophadece link=topic=10915.msg132299#msg132299 date=1299536531] Ya Mina, the feast of the Cross this year falls on a Saturday, so technically it doesn't break the fasting, because there is no abstinence on Saturday altogether. However y…
  • don't worry.....holy week will be here really soon. lent comes and goes really fast......especially when your college. the best lent period i had were during high school which we didn't do anything in. we were in church almost everyday after school …
  • [quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=10887.msg132282#msg132282 date=1299530456] I just had a disgusting veggie burger (minus the egg whites; in other words a real bona fide vegan burger).  I felt so Orthodox as I looked at my friends eating their…
  • [quote author=mechaiel link=topic=10915.msg132239#msg132239 date=1299494864] There are no Vespers on Lent weekdays (Monday to Friday, inclusive) because their Mass is done later in the day. In some churches it ends at 3pm. This makes sense, since pe…
  • It is NOT Vespers. it is, as it says in the readings file, "The Evening Prayer" = "salat al-masa-a" It is part of the sunday readings rather than monday. there still NO VESPERS for weekdays. therefore the rite is weekend. if you also look at the rea…
  • [quote author=Davidarida link=topic=10915.msg132170#msg132170 date=1299443971] Hello to all, This is exactly what I am talking about. The vespers on Sunday night. The only reason why I said the "Sunday Evening Prayer" is because in the Presentation…

  • [quote author=Davidarida link=topic=10915.msg132159#msg132159 date=1299438135] Hello to all, I am just wondering if the Evening Prayer on Sunday is the Weekend Tune or the Weekday Tune for Lent. Please respond, and God bless. + David Arida +  ;D […
  • [quote author=Meena_Ameen link=topic=10910.msg132135#msg132135 date=1299366105] This has been confusing me for sometime, the entire idea of the sacrifice of christ was that there was NO forgiveness of sins before he died on the cross, yet in many ex…
  • [quote author=Kiro7 link=topic=10908.msg132128#msg132128 date=1299360900] Hey guys, I know there are different tunes of Marochasf.. Does anyone know what they are and when are they said.. [/quote] it follows the tune of the psalm: Annual, Festive, K…
  • [quote author=ophadece link=topic=10893.msg132091#msg132091 date=1299320185] DEAr tishori, This quote I took from your reply to Zoxsasi is priceless: "Just because we don't understand something, or ever don't agree doesn't mean the church in Her wis…
  • [quote author=Unworthy1 link=topic=10887.msg132061#msg132061 date=1299283898] But is it true that at other points in the church's history the fast did not add up to 55 days, but was only 40 in total? [/quote] i don't really know. but just keep in mi…
  • [quote author=Zoxsasi link=topic=10823.msg131980#msg131980 date=1299226419] Does anyone have ANYTHING to say about that?? Are you someone that likes you sing Pinishti as a deacon during a major feast???? If so, I'd like to know who you are and where…
  • [quote author=Chirsts' servant link=topic=10893.msg132054#msg132054 date=1299279128] As a matter of fact the lady was doing the translation for 'Mahragan El-Keraza' (which i think is lead by H.G Bishop Moussa), when she came across this. So i guess …
  • [quote author=petertawfik link=topic=10887.msg132044#msg132044 date=1299275876] the 7 weeks has one saturday each and we r not allowed to abstain from fasting in those saturdays so our church since she loves the forty days to be full 40 days she add…
  • i guess it's worth saying that if your pc activates a spayware, the VERY FIRST THING to do is to disconnect the net connection.....to not make it worst. many spyware will try to take over the pc and download things and all that.
  • [quote author=jydeacon link=topic=10887.msg131998#msg131998 date=1299262023] No, we don't break the fast for any of the occasions that fall during Lent, even the feast of the Cross. [/quote] we break abstaining from food but not the fast in general…

  • [quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10823.msg131863#msg131863 date=1299088076] I agree with TITL's list. There are lots of places these songs can be found if someone really wants to find them. They should not be on an Orthodox site. [/quote] i'll …

  • [quote author=TITL link=topic=10823.msg131810#msg131810 date=1299018839] Take out those Protestant songs from the library. Read dzheremi's post. lol [/quote] send me a list of what is not "approved" by church fathers (meaning priests).
  • [quote author=TITL link=topic=10823.msg131803#msg131803 date=1299013473] I agree, and I think Mina is the man to fix that problem. He has control over the hymn lyrics library. [/quote] huh?!
  • Wow. Why don't they also take away the children of those who believe that.
  • What's wrong with our liturgy?!....i LOVE OUR LITURGY!!!!!! So traditional and filled with wisdom in everything that is done. even if there is nothing happening in church (meaning nothing being chanted) and you just sit there see the church filled w…
