Sandra,
There are many people who have read the whole Bible, and not just once, but many times. If you are convinced that you will never be able to read the whole Bible, then you never will. If you read about 3 chapters each day you can read the en…

The hymn we say instead of Ni Sherobim is the Aspasmos. There is an Aspasmos Adam for Adam days and an Aspasmos Batos for Batos days. The one we usually say on Sundays starts with "O Lord of hosts." The annual Aspasmos Adam starts with "Rejoice O Ma…
In the Commemoration of the Saints we mention the 3 saints Abba Makari and all their children the cross-bearers. That is who I think of first when I think of cross-bearers.
This year's competition was great. It was very close. Everyone did very well. There were so many ties we didn't head home until almost 10:00PM. I hope all had fun and learned something.
I was always taught that the fast starts on 12:00 AM (Midnight) of Wednesday and you don't break your fast until you get up Thursday morning. Therefore, if I was up studying until 1:00AM Thursday morning, I would not eat meat or dairy until the I go…
Congratulations Tifou,
I think H.H. Pope Athanasius, the 20th Pope of Alexandria is the 72nd apostle. But can somebody confirm it.
YES! ;D St. Athanasius the APOSTOLIC is considered the 72nd apostle. Good work. I knew someone would get it.
Christ4Life has found the 71st apostle. Good job. The 72nd one is much harder to figure out. Remember the hint: He was born after Jesus' time.
ok i know this one is easy but who carried jesus on his shoulders

Hints:
1) Think about who converted after the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles.
2) The other was born after Jesus' time.
I admit this is a hard one, but someone sho…
Safaa, you are on a roll.
St. Mary is the first person in the New Testament to receive the Holy Spirit.
Luke 1:35

St. Longinus is correct. Fantastic.

\The Martyrdom of St. Longinus the Soldier.
On this day, St. Longinus the Soldier, was martyred. He was Greek by nationality, from one of the countries of Cappadocia. When Tiberiu…
What is the name of the soldier who pierced Jesus' side? Hint: he became a saint.
In the doxology of the apostles we say that there are 72 apostles, but the Bible only lists 70. Who are the other 2?
Who was the first person in the New Testament to…
Slightly off topic. I don't know if it is like this everywhere, but in New York very few people say "God Bless You" anymore. Most abbreviate it to "Bless You." This has always bugged me. Are they ashamed of mentioning God's name? Who is actually doi…
