No, Chi-ou-oini is the exposition for the Feast of the Resurrection, chanted after the Gospel of the Liturgy. There is no exposition for the Feast of the Nativity during the Liturgy.
Also bear in mind that Chi-ou-oini is chanted in the unique tune …
I think you have misunderstand the verse (Matthew 11:11).
The Lord Christ here is referring to Himself, as He was less in age to John the Baptist and yet obviously greater than he.
Here is the commentary from St. John Chrysostom:

Hi All,
I have small question concerning the paying of tithes:
a) Who should your 10th's go to? Does this have to go to a priest, to the Church, to someone needy?[/quote]

I firmly believe that Coptic hymns form an important and vital part of our rites and identity as the Coptic Orthodox Church.
Those who advocate the removal of these hymns from the services of the Church sadden me, and are doing far more harm than …
I thank you all for weighing in on this discussion and have benefited from all of your posts. I do agree with Archdeacon, and Tony's last post I absolutely find expresses my own opinion on the matter.

I personally think that is it wrong, for two reasons. The first is that the rites of our Church are ordered and structured such that there should be no confusion or disturbance between the deacons as to hymns which are chanted, to maintain the rever…
Feel a rush of happiness and overwhelming pride in having witnessed the election of the new Patriarch of the See of St.Mark. May God bless his Church and his people and the Pope with peace for many years and pleasant times.
Reminds me of this amusing thread.
As for a blooper: at a certain church I served in in Cairo, there was a priest who has a powerful voice, as well as being quite forceful and "shedeed" in his manner of worship. One time he was celebrating the Rais…
