I have an instructional tasbeha cd by HCOC which says that the morning doxology is said, then the psalms of the first hour (prime), then matins followed by the liturgy If I remember correctly, first you pray the psalms of the first hour, then u pra…

As was pointed out in the thread, there are two mixed subjects. -Having non-egyptians adapt to our culture and language (which is obiously not necessary) -Having future generations copts (abroad) adapt to western music taste, which is not necessari…

I think everything has been said already, but here are my two pennies: If you would just look at the consequences of the free sexual moral, how many damage it has caused in the last decades, u'd be simply out of your mind to adapt to these society …

Interesting font there Mina ;D Thank you!! Any other suggestions?

"He uses herein the word 'until,' not that thou shouldest suspect that afterwards he did come to know her, but in order that thou mayest learn that before the birth the Virgin was wholly untouched. But on what account did he say the word 'until'? Be…

24 Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, 25 and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name JESUS. the word "till" doesnt necessarily mea…

I really don't know about this whole ti/tai shouri thing. Personally I always feel tishouri is more related to fasting/salvation, that's my personal feeling - not just from the tune but also from the text. Anyhow, in the discussion on coptichymns.n…

Dear ophadece and all, There in fact is a major introduction to Psalm 150 in the shaa'nini tune, and it's borrowed from the shaa'nini sherat. It's the same system that was applied to the festive sherat and the festive intro to psalm 150. Sha'anini…

Ya, I totally agree. I'd like to share my view which is quite similair to C.S. Lewis. Now, let's first start with Genesis, if you look at the order of the creation of life, you'll find that the first simple forms of life started in the water, and …

How could I forget about Master Origen, he was DEFINETELY one of the most influental copts of all time regarding theology and bible studies!

More recent times: - Archdeacon Habeb Gerges - Pope Cyril IV (father of restoration) Also, for the keeping of our hymns the following two person were extremely important: -Cantor Mikhael the Great -Mr Ragheb Moftah (And also Pope Cyril IV, he was …

any way,why did the HICS say amoini in the annual tune in epiphany if there is a festive tune for both adam and watos days? Good question lol, a lot of the HICS recordings were not really complete. Maybe the tune was not known to the cantor who was …

Indeed there's no exposition for Nairouz, I just checked. It's really odd, it's one of very rare occasions that have no exposition. Logic says that you just read from the defnar in that case. As for the Sha'anini tune, there's an actual Sha'anini t…

Anba Makarios always asked God not to deprive him of the holy altar and the liturgy, and God litteraly fulfilled his wish by letting him die during the liturgy!

It's exactly as Tishori said. You say both verses, first the one of Cantor Sarkis (in honour of the author of the hymn), then you ask forgiveness for yourself and the ones standing in the midnight praise. So, then, it should be okay to have your nam…

I heard Anba Rafa'el answering a question on this "Sarkis issue", whether we should not say his name and replace it by our own. Bottom line is that we need to respect his wish for being remembered and prayed for in every single midnight praise. That…

Holy Communion has a HUGE role in our Salvation. In fact, without it we cannot be saved. The first reason is that Christ Himself said so in John 6:53-54: Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son …

I dont mean to be harsh or anything, but a lot of that coptic is rather incorrect. Just one example: tishoori enno ti-nekhnia this is supposed to be: Tie shouri in noub, tie leekhneya. I tried listening to this song a few times and write the copti…

I agree with Kefas that people who have not resurrected with the glorified body cannot inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. Have a look at another passage from St Paul, which is read on every Easter Liturgy ;) 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 50 Now this I say, bre…

There's 3 kinds of Psali's actually: -The annual ones for every day of the week (Annual Psalmody) -The seasonal Psali's for the Lordly feasts and fasts (Seasonal Psali book) -The Psali's for the Saints (a book that consists of 2 parts, with psali's…

I can't think of any specific script, but you could have a bunch of kids dress up as saints (ie Saint Antony, St George, St Demiana) etc, it's usually not too difficult to find appropriate clothing. Have each one tell his own story in a poetic kind …

You're right that the original creed already said that the Father was of one substance with the Father, but I meant that the Filioque may have been an attempt to furter more confirm the unity of the Son and the Father. I know it doesn't make sense t…
-
I don't see what it adds to the Creed if, in fact, it is an equivalent statement to what the Orthodox Creed states. If me remember correctly, the Filioque originally sneaked into the creed as a defense against those who said that Christ was not one…

Cute and usefull program actually ;) Are there any plans to make a program with "hazaat", for example u hear a hymn with hazaat, and u see an arrow pointing at the hazaat that are being chanted at the very moment...
