The general funeral is a totally separate service despite the fact that we do it right after the liturgy. It is not the "transitional" service that I would consider. The transition is specific to the psalm chanting and not the entire liturgy. Also, …
A good answer to this question could be: "Well, zoxsasi, the priest doesn't know who may have attended the Pascal prayers before, so he's just going to go and pray the prayer of the dead on the entire congregation anyway".
I could accept that as a…
Having a prayer prayed on you is in no way worthless at time and important at others, even if it's even minute of the day. It keeps you in a constant connection with God.
I bet your sources also say that Covenant Thursday Psalm is fully singari....:-)
So Anba Mettaous book says it should be singary.Nahdet El-kanayes is the one that says you say it in annual tune. St.Mina Monastery in Alex published a great resource (…

hmmmmm. it's more of a mix.so whenever there are hymns that are of "equal" (example: the hymn of the Virgin is tishori, taishori and intho te tishori), the weekend one is said.
Hey Guys,
I don't think the content of the video is worth getting into theological and dogmatic arguments. I would rather getting into those topics in the appropriate discussions which probably exist if you do a search...or you can always begin a ne…

1-There is hope to develop a standard translation to use instead of this one.2-That being said, I am told this translation is supposed to follow the English Tasbeha recorded St. Antony Monastery, CL. So we have that here: http://tasbeha.org/hymn_lib…

Open that page and at the end, where "Coptic Holidays and Easter Calculations:" is, you can fill in the year and it calculates major annual events for you.
micro vs macro management from God....I'd like to think that He does neither. To limit God to specifically manage in a certain way, to me, is against the nature of God or atleast my definition of Him being omniscient and omnipotent. It would go in t…
God always willing to accept everyone. But without wasting your time with my words, I recommend speaking to a priest about your desire to come back to the church.
@Zoxsasi, You shouldn't of posted the vid. You are just giving him attention being a protestant. He should atleast consider history, but he doesn't. if you watched the whole thing, I feel sorry for you.
Hi Mina,I feel sorry for you too. I'm so sor…

@Khepra, no one said women are not responsible to chant as men. Hymns and chants are the people's job, but psaltoses became the head of that the process through the years, and it's only the lowest of the deaconship ranks. Chanters/Psaltos and Arch-P…
hehe. it's a matter of how hard the dough itself is. A way to avoid having the dough stick to the stamp is to stick the stamp in flour first, then stamp.
Also, try to find a stamp that doesn't have sharp edges to not break into the dough.
@Amoussa01, this is always done in Texas Monastery on fasting days....Midnight Praise followed by Matins, and then the liturgy is around 12 noon starting with agpeya hours.
it's not another version, it is the extension to the current. and it's beautiful: http://media.tasbeha.org/mp3/Hymns/Annual/Congregation_Responses/Cantor_Farag_Abdelmessih/04.Al_el_qorban.1219.mp3
In monasteries (specifically St Mary and St Moses Abbey Texas, the "early service" (rather than saying "the midnight praise" is as followed):- The midnight prayer (with the 3 watches from the agpeya)- The midnight praise as we know it today, ending …
