the link leads to the site of alhan youthbishopric lol
and mina, i'll look into it. If i remember well M. Gad makes the same repetitions as Ibo. I'll compare Ibo to Wagdi one day. Could you specify a bit more what part you mean??
Hi people,
i know this is a very old thread, but our beloved Shnoda had put us on notice that the great evlogimenos is still being chanted, even if it rare. When the recording by muallim Ibrahim Ayad came out i got all excited, but I found it to be…
It differs. Some would call him George, others Girgis (the arabic version) but this might be more for the older generation or people from traditional families. Most people nowadays would probably go for George.
Keep in mind that not everything is considered a dogma in the Orthodox Church.
Some teachings are simply widely accepted, yet are not universal dogma that we all have to beleive in.
Therefore don't be surprised to find things like these. Some church…
Go to abouna and say it in a subtle way, trust me, abouna's hears this from a lot of people. Tell him you are fought by the devil with bad images that you see and that's been going on for a while and became a big problem. If you feel more comfi writ…
Note that both sin and wisdom are often symbolized by a woman (in more than one prophecy and in revelation for instance). The reason is that women bring forth children, just as sin brings forth sin and wisdom brings forth wisdom. This i had picked u…
Tony gave you some great tips,
allow me to give you some more ;)
-Make sure you give them a cd or a link to a recorded version of the hymn, repeating and practising at home makes a huge difference.
-Try organising a spiritual day for hymns every o…
Great .pdf, I had seen these articles before on coptichymns.net, but now they are combined neatly in a .pdf.
Great stuff for personal use and as a source for service ;)
Try this website:
cemoti hazzat
You first have to download the font from www.hazzat.com
Make sure you use the hazzat as an aid to learn it, then keep hearing the hymn over and over untill you memorize it by heart!
Fr Peter, is it possible to upload a recording of one of your liturgies?? I'm really curious as to know how the British Orthodox Church prays their liturgies.
That why 8 people were saved in the ark, it signifies the new creation ;)
The small velum on top of the prosferin is symbol of the seal on the grave of Christ.
The throne in which the chalice is placed is symbol of the throne of God. The mestir (s…
Thanks for the great recording, it's good to know that this heritage is still being preserved in the lands of immigration
about the Halleuja...its a perfect way to end the Great Hoos actually, it just cuts it off just before the end of the long kiah…
Ey Mina,
the link does seem to work but once i go to 2008 the files won't download...
Muallim Gad mentions in the first lesson that it is also to be said in 3eed el qeyama el mageed (The Glorious Resurrection feast)
Ali el Kabeer and Ali nos el Lail is the same, i agree.
But this hymn is exclusive, it's something different than el Hoos el Kebeer, but they both have "Kabeer" in the name, so that makes it rather confusing.
Mina, you sure it's said before Ten The…
haha i think I got it now.
I was just listening to a downloadable version from coptichymns.net by Dr Sameh and the one by Fr Matias Nasr from HCOC. After the Great Hoos they continue with alleluja, which is for the first part identical to Psalm 150 …
For any doubters of faith, you might want to read the book "the case for faith" by Lee Strobel, i don't necessarily agree with every single thing it says, but it's a good defense of faith.
Another amazing philosopher who's famous for his debates pro…
One of the fathers (i think it was Macarius the Great) was asked the same question: how do we pray? His answer was that we learn to pray by praying.
If we wait with prayer untill we can do it perfectly, we'll never pray. Just start, follow the guida…
