Anba David was gifted a cross to wear on the day of his enthronement that has a piece of the Lord's Cross in it. If i am not mistaking, i think it was Heg. Fr. Mousa Elgohari, a great father in the Boston area, who gifted it to His grace.

I haven't seen a HICS recording for raising of incense

There is no fasting on Wednesday since it's the feast Kiahk 29th day
-
I don't think i can get access to it now. sorry
-
Well, considering that most regular priests do not wear them, I would say monks wouldnt do so except if they would need to leave the monastery for something.
-
I disagree mrcreed. Most people who do care about Christmas in the states and Canada, not sure about Europe, hate what the feast turned into--a holiday for business to take advantage of consumers. It's commercialization that clergy and true Christia…

Yes and yes

the key next to the iota, the "U", is the epsilon. This keyboard and font take the ancient shape of coptic letter, more like uncial than the fonts we use in coptic liturgical books.
-
There is also the the fact that all psalmodies have them in that order. I haven't done research in older manuscripts, but still, all mainly agree on that now.

Lol ya Fady, your paper was completed after we got engaged and probably even married. I haven't been able to sit down and read anything that long and comprehand everything for a while. But I agree with the premise.
-
@Amoussa01: - the 13 days Fady is mentioned is what almost everyone is saying to put the calendars on the same track. There would also be a need to find a way to deal with leap years. What Fady said about the Resurrection feast day is new to me, so…

@Amoussa01 none, and i mean NONE of those that are supporters of changing and looked into the offset of the Coptic and Gregorian Calendar agree with just moving the Nativity date. In doing so, you wouldn't be fixing the problem presented and that is…
-
in addition, a change like that in the specific psali should NOT be made.
-
@Amoussa01, I think you're equating Tradition with Doctrine/Dogma. We agree on the the letter being absolute in understanding and unchangeable, but the former is what we are are arguing about. But despite that, and if we ignore it and just speak abo…
-
@Amoussa01...you're missing the point every time (at least mine) and you are simply reinstating what HH said many times and said again a bit more aggressively in defense of HEMS. I am not arguing about the matter of change of rites, but I am for doi…

"heresy" is not breaking of a rite, but it's the preaching of an unorthodox faith. It's also intentional and specific. If we do something incorrect in the rite that is unintentional, it's not exactly against you. And we, as lower ranks, we are not t…
-
@Amoussa01, I do have to agree on Fady's comment about tradition. The distinction that you make, as well as many including myself somwtimws, is really meaningless in the full picture of things. In fact in Arabic and Coptic, and throughout history, t…

His response is perfect.
-
That's a weird question to come an ask in a Coptic Orthodox forum.
-
Because it doesn't match our actual liturgical day structure. look at pascha prayers: 5 morning prayers, 5 evening prayers. That naming, or more specifically, that 'number' only start appearing with printed books.
-
oh, wait, i am sorry, i didn't see the "not". I stand corrected
-
no. :-)
-
@Jojo_Hanna...so I am not in the SUS, but knowing His Grace, or even any of the bishops in NA or elsewhere, they would never allow this. People like to make up stuff to justify their actions. You can email him and ask from the contact page on suscop…

I don't think it's about "opposing" the idea as much as it is something that will disconnect us from the Church in Egypt. Meaning, that people wouldn't mind changing it to December 25, but only if the Church in Egypt and the Coptic Church everywhere…
-
So: afhwl sarwou = "he came to them"....and it can actually mean a lot of things on the same line, but i wouldn't use "flew" since it doesn't make sense. pikolacic: this is an interesting word. it's greek: κόλασις...and in the bible, it means punish…
-
Well I wouldn't say we have a system. But, the problem is thinking that we can take what we have and just applying an existing system without considering the foundations of our hymnology.
-
I edited some of the coptic text ere and added the arabic from Albair's book (lucky i was next to it). I would need to do some more research for other sources. But i don't think it would be too hard to translate from the coptic. Some words are uniqu…
