Well, unfortunately this is not the best forum to discuss this but I had mentioned it before anyway.. I am not happy about changing the katamaros readings on the 23rd of Kiahk (or 22nd leap year) because Christ's words sound harsh.. We don't follow …

Thanks @Jojo_Hanna, @minatasgeel and @dg920. Like Mina had said already which I am sure you all know of course, we have ample evidence of variations in sources, including manuscripts and liturgical texts and it is a fact that some rites were practis…

As @minatasgeel pointed out, all hymns are in an annual tune. Yes you say yestermagi all three days, and the special hymns are doxologies, and psalies, Mina provided the link above.. Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ

Thanks for your answer @egeey, while I totally understand what you said, I have to tell you that you risk ruining the prayers Copts used for generations. Please note that such was the way they understood and used the Greek in the liturgy and we lear…

Dear @egeey, Can I ask why would you like to use Greek fonts for the Greek portions of the liturgy? Oujai khan ebshois

Hi @Jojo_Hanna,Not on Wednesdays or Fridays, or baramoun days, as those are considered first degree fast days. oujai qen P[c

Not 'av' but 'af', the former ('au' more correctly) refers to they while the latter to he.. The rest no comment for obvious reasons.. Oujai khan ebshois

Hi @thesixthsheik and @PiOnkhSorry again for being this late in replying. First things first, the word that @PiOnkh found is of a Greek origin, but as he rightly said it does refer to "prince; governor". Region - ,wraTerritory - komitaton (of Greek …

Dear @thesixthsheik,Sorry for the late reply.. The Sa'idic word for mayor is lasane]ourw `nte niourwou (= queen of queens); plural is the same word for masculine and feminineI don't know what you mean by governorship; do you mean "government"?Oujai …

Thanks @minatasgeel.. I thought you were talking about ajbeya.. Now it's clear, thanks again

Hi @minatasgeel You said "... and because it was used a lot, few manuscripts were scribed for it." do you mean "not used a lot"? Oujai khan ebshois

Dear @minasafwat You are as humble as an expert in Coptic. I was actually addressing @sateruya the original poster. Please don't worry about sending me anything, I am sure you are more than capable without needing anything from me.. God bless you an…

Dear @johnmakkar, The reason is the Arabic translation of the Coptic psalm followed by the English translation of the Arabic one.. Oujai khan ebshois

Hi @Daniel_Kyrillos,£ refers to menenca ¾ according to Dr. Kamal Farid it is the same like ½ but with a "Greek-shaped" sima; I do appreciate if anything it looks like a ghamma, but I believe he is absolutely right, as a renowned teacher of the Copti…
-
No @Daniel_Kyrillos there is no tune and certainly it's not based on the national anthem. @minatasgeel would explain it better, but basically a recording was found in which one cantor (can't remember who) received the patriarch (I believe Pope Kyril…

Some people argue that emperor Constantine and his mother queen Helana should not be considered saints. I will not speak about pope Shenouda now because I don't understand well theological matters but as @minasoliman is saying, if he denied theosis …

Dear @ElGawly, Many thanks, the app looks very useful and interesting, may God reward you and all the people who were involved in this work. One thing though I would like to have been able to change the background colour but I can't seem to find any…

Dear @ShareTheLord, Originally the liturgy was written in Greek mainly and later it was converted into Coptic with the preservation of Greek parts. The Greek was the language of the Bible initially and it was the spoken language of the empire ruling…
