  • The voice of Abouna Ibrahim must be reason number one why I love to listen to the liturgy recordings of HICS ;D
  • There's a lot to say on this subject, but i think Cefas covered the most explicit biblical proof that the bread and wine indeed are the Body and Blood of Christ. Another very explicit clear biblical proof is the following: (1Cor 11:23-32) For I ha…

  • Perhaps the second sermon under the following link will give some clarification of why these protestant hymns aren't wrong per se, but liturgic worship simply is better ;D http://www.orthodoxsermons.org/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view…
  • in Egypt Abouna  can tell deacons not to wear for that reason. exactly, in Egypt abouna can tell you not to wear, what does that tell u? It's a cultural thing! For piercing you ears, I REALLY dont see how it benefits, for girls it's a cultural thin…
  • And by the way don't forget that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (Cor. 6:19), and you have to return it as beautiful as you got it. When you borrow a book at the library and you return it with ripped pages, notes of your own etc, you have…

  • I don't see the need to say long hymns in another language than the original either. Exactly because these hymns have melisma in it, there's not much text and you have all the time to read the translation, which means that a foreign language isn't m…
  • www.remenkimi.com scroll down and u'll see to the left "church library". There search for Euchologian book, and there you will find the coptic text for all the coptic liturgies.
  • The psali's are said before each Hoos (or whatever the Psali is chanted before) Like mina said, it follows the Adam tune (ie like the annual Ai koti) or Watos (like the annual afti im ip ounof). There's no such thing as a Lent tune for psali's, caus…
  • That's a great idea, thnx for that, I never tried this micro-wave thing, but i often forget that I had put orban in shantet el keneesa ;D

  • Keep in mind also that this tune (and the madaye7) are ONLY said in the Vesper praise. Don't adapt this for the regular Watos Theotokia's.
  • in that case, i HATE meat ;D just kidding, keep up the discussion :P
  • Actually they are from the Thursday Theotokia: Part 5; 4-6 see this link also: http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/index.php?a=view&id=471 [coptic]Vy gar etaumacf hwc nou] `apa;yc ebolqen `Viwt aumacf on kata carx apa;yc ebolqen ]par;enoc Ouai …
  • we had this discussion millions time before, i cant find the thread but Iqbal explained that mas comes from the latin word missa (to dismiss), and its the specific liturgical service with the eucharist. The word liturgy comes from greek and means "…
  • I believe the gospel of the ninth hour (3 pm) gospel talks about this miracle of the five loaves and two fish because its the time we should break our fast. I don't think it has much to do with the death of Christ, because the 6 litanies after the …
  • I gave my opinion on this subject on another thread. The current recording is the only thing we have...the alternative is having nothing. Read/view the interview under this link where fr Mattias Nasr speaks about the Cyrillian Liturgy, and form yo…
  • Couldnt she concider giving the baby away for adoption? Does our church have a view concerning this??
  • Well, who ever said that there's no alternative tune for the remaining verses of Tenen? And like i said before: what is ur alternative for the Liturgy of Cyril? Not praying it? or use the even less authentic arabic tunes? I've stated my opinion, a…
  • I think this discussion goes way beyond HICS and Muallim Mikhail the great. The issue here is, how far can we go to install tunes on "lost hymns". An example, can we use the sha'anini long tune of the Sherat to make a long intro to Psalm 150, just …
  • I can't wait to hear the rare hymns that will be posted soon ;D thanks for all ur efforts Mr Wagdi :) Concerning the extra verses of Tenen, they were recorded by HICS in the recordings of Bright Saturday: http://tasbeha.org/mp3/Hymns/Other_Occas…
  • O Kirios meta sou is not the name of the hymn. It's actually the last sentence of a hymn which is chanted before Agios estin (the one that we are talking about here). The hymn that is chanted before agios estin is called Shere Theotoke, and be found…
  • Yah, well the bible isnt a science book. Genesis doesnt give us a detailed prescription of how creation took place, the purpose of Genesis is to tell us that God created the world and the universe, out of goodness and love. Science tries to find out…

  • Mina, if you go to university and study human anatomy/embriology or celbiology, any of these studies, u'll find so many simularities between our development and physiology and that of animals. Look at rudimentary organs that had a purpose a long lon…
  • Ya i noticed the same thing. Everything is always different when a priest does anything. When he comes to ur sunday clas, all the kids are quiet suddenly and start listening. Once a priest says a hymn, nobody complains about its length. funny peopl…
  • really? :o u have a recording?? And isnt it like wayyyyyy long for the congregation to hear? lol, some find the normal tune to be "too long", imagine this major version...
  • we don't know! I did hear a story once that after the crucifixion he found his hands stained with blood, so he washed them. A minute later he found them stained with blood again, so he washed them again and again while screaming: I'm innocent of th…
  • no people people people, im talking about the melismatic tune of eflogimenos. The one that takes 30 minutes lol, not the normal one ;D http://tasbeha.org/mp3/Hymns/Major_Feasts_of_the_Lord/Palm_Sunday/Cantor_Farag_Abdelmessih.html listen to it her…
