It is curious how there are so many posts on this forum attacking protestant and catholic groups, yet we question why other groups do the same to us. The only way to establish this interfaith respect is for us to first respect the other denominations
Yep that phrase actually comes from a Psalm and the Agpeya was put together based on that verse, so that we pray 7 times a day. The prayers you listed are the correct ones and times. The veil is recited in the monasteries by the monks but there is n…
hahaha sorry! my bad!
ok here's a story. One time our abouna was away and we had a bishop come and pray the liturgy with us - and it was an amazing liturgy. He did the whole thing (actually probably about 75%, but you get the point) in Coptic and t…

Hi Guys,
I was wondering what is the order for the verses of the cymbals for the nayrouz?
When do …
I'm with Tishori on this one. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the original liturgy in Greek anyways and then translated into Coptic so the Egyptians could understand it? So according to that reason, we shouldn't even be learning Coptic we should…
Q: "Why do we have to sing if we don't understand?"
A: The better question is "Why don't you understand if you have to sing?"
It may work to switch the responsibility on her for not trying to understand it, as opposed to you for making her sing it.
Oh, Coptic, my bad! (lol just playing)
Anyways, I don't know them off the top of my head but you can take a look at some coptic lexicons like:

I heard that during the time of persecution, if a Christian would want to find out if someone else was Christian they would make the sign of that fish on their hand - that way they could find out without getting persecuted

It is important not to overlook this.
Don't worry about what other people do or why other p…
I think Meghalo is said and that leads into the first verse of Agios. Instead of going to the second verse of Agios, you go to apenchois. Then after apenchois is done, you say the full Agios.
As others said the translation is misleading. The "until" is emphasizing her virginity "even to the point of" Jesus's birth and not implying anything afterwards. There is a great article here to explain it:

Interesting, for me 103 - 175 and 179 - 222 "are not shown in this preview". Hmm maybe it has to do with copyright in US v. UK. Either way, my school's library had it. Thanks all for the links.
Did you right click (or mac equivalent) and save as? Make sure it is not being saved as a .txt / text document (although I don't think that is even a mac thing - I dunno how it works) and then follow those instructions:

Hey,
Well some advice is to start early, because these things need lots of time and continual reviewing. Consult with your guidance counselor or teachers because they are usually happy to look over your resume and essays and share from their experi…
