You cannot take every single letter in one language and translate it into another, and expect total sense. If that was the case, then you wouldn't need any human factor in translation and just use google translate or any translation application for …

That's not how translating works
-
[ facepalm ] i don't think that's grammatically correct...but i donno.
-
One of the most frustrating thing i see:In `Acwmen, the refrain in Greek and Coptic is translated to "He ascended ... the Spirit of Truth. Amen alleluia." while the Arabic says, "He ascended ... the Spirit of Truth, the Comforter. Amen alleluia."--t…
-
Then it's whatever your church deacons agree upon.
-
Because it would be very diffecult to sing in Coptic. So the synod allowed the extra part in Arabic.
-
If we are speaking just about english, technically, you can if you want. Meaning that, in english, you can either take the coptic translation or the arabic one.
-
Originally, there wasn't one and the long alleluia's were to be said. That is the same case for Lent too as well as Jonah's fast. Somehow, someone started to say a refrain for great lent, then one was made for kiahk, then one was made for Jonah. The…

@ophadece...i wouldn't go that far. From looking at readings manuscripts of katameroses (multiple ones), the reader had a lot of freedom of what to read or chant during different times of the year. Sometimes they were given 2 psalms in each reading …
-
@ophadece...but that's not what they are titled or broken up in Pascha.
-
Like any other psalm, you choose 3 and say it. Or if you can connect 2 estikhons together, then go ahead. You kinda have the freedom to do that.
-
@Amoussa01...i think you should be able to follow the video lectures. @jojo_hanna...that is too long of a topic to discuss, which even abouna Basilios takes a whole lecture to talk about. But, think about pascha prayers being a replacement for agpey…
-
There isn't an issue. The way that it was always passed on is only the 1st estikhon of either psalms is said in the shami tune. The rest is said in the regular paschal tune.
-
It's a group of lectures:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWRFeEYdkTg (the rest are connected to that video on the same channel) I can't find the paper right now. I'll keep looking.
-
While still sourced in Coptic, consider that whoever began to print books have kinda done the mistake of saying "the seven canonical prayers" since most manuscripts don't actually say that. The most clear evidence is the breakup of Pascha prayers, 5…

While you can define the word "rite" like that, most people don't. It really refers to the type of worship in church. Let's take the Roman Catholic Church for example. In Egypt, there is the Coptic Catholic Church with the Coptic rite, almost exactl…
-
@constantance I think that "freedom" of being able to go to either will be, to some certain extent, destructive in the future. It would be the same thing as "church hopping" within a specific jurisdiction. What happens when you'll get in a relations…
-
It may not be as simple as "taking permission from my FOC"...but I would say go for it. As long as it is the EO that you are becoming part of.

Ya @Martha...I am not doubting your existence and I have nothing against you. Many individuals here, including myself, are known and can be found on other social media sites. The point I am making is that no one can be trusted here, either in those …
-
One more thing to say: Almost everyone takes psychology 101 in college, including me...it was an easy class. So please don't mock us and the Church for caring about everyone collectively rather than just "making people feel good about their problems…
-
I was going to mention more scenarios, but that would be too much to type...so i'll respond directly to points: "we need to help those who are suffering from broken relationships, divorce, domestic violence, porn addiction and anything else that nee…

Hello @Martha, Thank's for starting this discussion. It is beneficial to clarify why i close specific posts: - No one knows anyone here. You are saying that your name is Martha and you are a 65 yr old woman--great--but, no one can verify that on ou…

You wont find it.

There is a difference in those 3 cases you mentioned. Pope Cyril VI was a monk and became a pope right away, and his name was changed. Pope Shenouda was a monk, became a general bishop with a name change, but no name change when he became a pope. An…
-
Yes to your first question. to your second question, the priest doesn't need to think about all these things because we have the ability to avoid any of these problems. It doesn't make sense nor is it acceptable to not do something if you know that …
-
I haven't....but that doesn't mean it hasn't happen. Almost ALL chalices now are metal based, so they don't easily break. And it's not that problematic to get genuine mine these days.
-
This is a result of different people translating "]`proctatyc"...which is a Greek word. In:- Meawad Dawood Coptic dictionary, he says it means: شفيع=intercessor, وسيط=middleman/advocate- Strong's Concordance: https://biblehub.com/greek/4368.htm: pro…

I haven't seen it online or translated it...but it's in the back of the most recent Liturgy book of Abouna Abdel Masseh - Baramous Monastery.

In case the cup breaks in which you'd lose all the wine, abouna find out that there is something wrong with the wine when he tastes towards the end... There is a special service to fill it with wine again and use that. It's like a mini-liturgy reall…

He would need to tell abouna.
