What differnce does it make if God formed man from the dust of the earth and breathed the life and spirit (in the likeness of God), or whether this dust evolved over time and eventually became the physical vessel in which God breathed? Isn't a thou…

the long tune is loooooooooong lol i wonder if the hymn is ever chanted, i never heard it in a church ???
-
1000 years maybe? did God expect Adam to be without sin for 1000 years? God expected Adam to obey, and he did not. That's all there is to the story, if he had lived for eternity it would be in a state of corruption and sin. Otherwise, we dont know h…

I heard some interesting points about this subject in some of the sermons of fr Antony Meseeh. He said that both Adam and Eve were guilty when Eve ate first. If u have a close look at the story in Genesis, you will note that the command of not eat…

is there a specific reason that we say ti shouri? I always thought on all "joyfull days" (ie sundays, except lent, and non fasting days) we should chant tai shouri...

yah sounds really good ;D

if u have the old "nahdet el kana'es" Deacons service book u'll notice way in the back this section with greek hymns. They aren't used in our church, but my guess is that these hymns are taken from the greeks as well. There's also a lot of greek pa…

well , in a time (Pope Cyril, abou el esla7 if i'm not mistaking) there were attempts from both our church as well as the greek orthodox to draw closer, so we took some of their hymns (some of the procession hymns of easter) and also hymns like ee p…

I'm not here to defend or attack anyone. I just think u cant make a blank statement like "such and such is not a good source" without even saying why.
-
The original tune in the Greek Orthodox Church is great too ;) try it http://goarch.org/en/special/listen_learn_share/nativity/listen/ its the second one (the only one with lyrics)
-
I dont know Ibrahim Ayad personally, but i do assume that he as a teacher at Dydimos (along with other cantors) know all hymns that are known at this moment. They even try to revive certain "lost" or "forgotten" hymns (like the major melismatic hite…
-
I can understand that its hard to follow up with the liturgy when u only understand one of 3 languages that are used. Aren't there any all english services at your church? I know they have special 0% arabic/coptic liturgies to avoid problems like t…
-
No i don't. But what i understood is that the hymn is originally from Upper Egypt (which explains why the txt can primairily be found in the Mo7arraq Kiahk Psalmody), so basicaly its just one of these rare hymns from sa3eed.
-
There are some other specific things that i kinda find hard to explain... for instance you will hear priest say that nature itself became violent due to the fall of man into sin. Before that, all animals lived peacefully together. Can anyone explai…
-
it's just a hymn for the weekdays. Actually, its written in the Kiahk Psalmody Book of the Mo7arraq Monastery. Its kinda unknown though, just like isthermegi (the one for the paramoun of Nativity) which is btw also written in that same psalmody. U'…
-
As far as i know je ef esmaroot doesnt change. However, u chant the hymne Tiparthenos instead of Efemepsha on other days than sunday. U can find a recording on copticheritage.org http://www.copticheritage.org/Hymn_Encyclopedia.phtml search for Ki…

interesting story, tnx ya sidi ;D and talking to the omena that was before her (sorry, i don't know her name) that was Tamav Kyreeya if i'm not mistaking.
-
I have another story too that aom-mania iriny said about herself if you want to know this one too... do tell, usually i'm very sceptical about these kinds of stories, but if it comes from omena irini i'm really interested...
-
Its true that when u copy coptic txt to powerpoint, it'll change into strange symbols. All u need to do is simply select the txt and change the font back into coptic again. See if thats the problem...if not, i cant help u.

The death on the cross has a lot of reasons and meanings, i'll just name a few i can come up with now. First of all, it was a curse to die on the cross in the Old Testament, and Christ took our curse in order to bless us (He took what is ours, and …
-
oh and btw notice that this Kiahky introduction to the Doxologies follows the exact same tune as the Communion hymn of the Sundays of Kiahk ([coptic]`fem`psa gar[/coptic]).
-
ah thats another tiparthenos ;D Its from the general intro to the doxologies, and then the last 2 verses before u say "Shere ne o ti parthenos". U can find that here, second file. http://tasbeha.org/mp3/Hymns/Fasts/Nativity/Ibrahim_Ayad.html
-
If you mean the communion hymn for the weekdays of Kiahk look here: http://www.copticheritage.org/Hymn_Encyclopedia.phtml go to Kiahk hymns and u'll find it there
-
i think u mean the Great Hoos, did it happen to start with [coptic]Hwc P=o=c qen ouhwc `mberi[/coptic]?? (sabe7ou lel rab tasbe7an gadeedan). Thats the best part of the tasbeha when it comes to seasons ;D
-
The First Tafsir according to all the Psalmodia's I have, begins, "I begin in the Name of God, Who dwells in light"; the file I have begins, "I begin in the Name of God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit" The tafsir ur referring to ("I begin…
-
If your alone or with a very small number of people you could do that, but dont go too far. Before u know it you will skip almost all and introduce the weirdest hymns. The best way however is to just all ur friends the entire tasbeha ;). The probl…
-
Mina, what is ur source for saying things from the Tasbeha (shere ne maria etc). From what i know is that the hymn which is to be said when the bride enters the church is Shere Maria (The paralexis of the hymn of the blessing), not Shere ne Maria. …

I always thought its strange that bethsheba was washing herself in the open, i mean if david could see her from the balakona then she wasnt really doing her best to hide her naked body... besides, she willfully commited adultery. There's no excuse …

thats not Ibrahim Ayad, but Arsani Sidarous. Still excellent recordings though ;)
