Qolonsoa

JustinWilliams

Does anyone know where I could purchase a qolonsoa?

I have tried purchasing one through Heavenly Embroidery but after placing my order I have not been able to contact anyone to find out the status of the order.  I am becoming afraid that the store has gone out of business and did not take down their website.

So do any of you know where I could purchase one?

I am not sure why you want one, but maybe if you visited a Coptic monastery (in Egypt or if there's one closer to you), I'm sure they'd have some on hand.

I collect regional clothing and I would greatly enjoy owning an article that reflects a great heritage of the Christian faith (since I myself am a Christian). 

Unfortunately I live in the US and the closest monastery is in California which is about 3,000 miles from  where I live.

I have 2 more thoughts for you:

1- There is also a monastery in Texas

2- Perhaps you could visit a local Coptic Church (using the find a church feature on this site): http://www.copticchurch.net/topics/directory/

And speak to the priest about your desire and see if he can help you.

Thank you for that suggestion :)  Unfortunately it seems that they too no longer are accepting orders (their contact email account has been deactivated)  ???

Try calling this number (760) 257-1050, it is the number for the bookstore of St Antony's monastery here in California. If they have it, they will ship it to you and then you can send them the money or vice versa.

My grandmother recently bought one for me from egypt, so if you have relatives there who are visiting soon ask them and they will be able to help you :)
