  • Se7r is like evil sourcery, 3amal i wouldnt know either. But I had no clue that se7r was still being practised nowadays, may God have mercy upon us all.
  • I know what you will say about me now HERETICCCCCCCCCC ANATHEMAAAAAAAAAAAA lol
  • Doing everything she asks probably means getting a score of 2000000 out of 100 at every exam, trust me Egyptian parents can be very demanding :P
  • Count from 1 to 3 before you answer, and shoot a small arrow prayer. But a long term solution would be to actually open up and discuss what you see as nagging, and tell her that it sets you off. That you don't mean to go crazy, but you just get anno…
  • It's under the category of the papal hymns: have a look over here
  • I think I heard anba Rafail say in one of his sermons that you can continue your fast after you take communion. Communion is like a juwel that enters your body, it's not like a meal that breaks ur fast. So in that case friday you could attend the li…
  • No need for apologizees, we all learn from eachother :)
  • 7aram 3alek, we just fasted 43 days with seafood lol no, paramouns are always fishless, and when not in a weekend, it's strict abstinence!
  • Saint Nicholas, yet a Great man who I admire dearly, is not recognized in the Coptic church!!! If he's in the Sinexarium, and lived in the era before the schisms, then yes he's recognized by the Coptic Church! We should teach our children about this…
  • Will the english translations of the Nativity and Epiphany Expositions be online anytime soon?  ;D For the english translation of the Actual Psali's I refer to the suscopts site (though it's not complete): http://www.suscopts.org/deacons/hymns/theo…
  • Really? Didnt know that, but we don't have a northern neighbour country :P
  • [quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=7555.msg99300#msg99300 date=1231949390] In some European countries such as Holland the feast of St Nicholas is important and is kept on 6th December, which is the same as 10th Khiak with the difference in cal…
  • It's funny how Christ served on earth 3,5 full years, while only about 25 days or so are covered in the gospels. I wonder where all the teachings from the other days were kept...OHHHHHHHH i remember, it was the apostles in the early church that kept…
  • Mina, Actually the alpha makes the sentence to be in the past tense, so you can say: [coptic]Pen¡ Iyc P,c afernycteuin [/coptic] or [coptic]aPen¡ Iyc P,c ernycteuin [/coptic] (Our Lord Jesus Christus fasted), [coptic]af[/coptic]+verb makes it paste …
  • Well he says: "and the Divine Liturgy continues in the same way as during the glorious Feast of the Nativity, except that the Psalm is not chanted in the major Singary tune, but in the minor joyful tune." If he includes in the description of the "d…
  • Amen Halleluja, we agree on something ;D
  • Ophadece, after the feast of the circumcision the rites return back to anual, the festal period ends there. Then a few days later we fast the paramoun for the Epiphany to celebrate the feast of the Epiphany after. It doesn't even make sense to keep…
  • Amoussa01, this is the way we have always been praying in my church, from the feast of the nativity untill 5 Touba, that is untill (not including) the feast of the Circumcision, the rites hymns of the Nativity feast are prayed, because the feast of…
  • Most definitely, you pray in the festal tune, say the festal doxologies / verses of the cymbals, the Nativity hiteni's, praxis response, everything of the Nativity basically!!!! So enjoy ;)
  • Nope, only between the Nativity and Circumcision, so that is untill next wednesday!!!
  • There's no recordings to them, but all festal psali's follow the same tune (The festal Watos or Adam) which is recorded for several feasts - the most complete would be the latest recording by Ibrahim Ayad for the midnight praise of Palm Sunday. So i…
  • In a nutshell: we believe that the millenium is not a litteral period of Christ reigning on earth, rather it's a spiritual reigning that started on the Cross, when the devil was bound for a 1000 years (not litteraly, just a long period), and he will…
    in Rapture Comment by mmatt95 January 2009
  • Yep, same as ophadece! We do not live by the litteral food laws of the Old Testament, all is pure, u can read the story of St Peter and Cornelius in Acts 10 ;) Oh, and u really really should waited just another 2 days till u brought up this topic ab…

  • It's hard to benefit from a hymn when it cannot be chanted at all because the tune is lost. I prefer to have a "made up" or a known "metrakkeb" tune and benefit from the lyrics (and to some extent from the tune as well), than not having a hymn at al…
  • Engagement, marriage, it's nothing but headaches lol eshteri demaghak and become a monk/nun ;D
  • I think around the age of 60 is perfect! ;)
  • A lot of symbols go for both St Mary and the church, cause in her character we find the ultimate example of what the church should be like!!!! The tabernacle is symbol of the church because God's presence was in it, but also St Mary because she is t…

  • very wise words mabsoota. I think in general we can say that because engagement is not 100% certain to continue, you may not want to go very far with any physical contact, whatsoever. Ask yourself if you would kiss ur fiance, and you broke up and en…
  • oh i know what u mean, its the "khaten efnouti heppe ghar tera ervoki" part lol ya, just listen to the recording, u go really quickly from khaten till ghar, and the continue the music of the hymn normally. Can't really explain it though, just hear i…
  • Dude, this video is HILARIOUS ;D ;D ;D
