  • Thanks geomike, I 100% agree. Purity2, take it easy. If you go back and re-read my post, you'll notice I never disregarded or went against the importance of the female head covering. I merely give an opinion on why it may be neglected (after all was…

  • I live in Sydney but I'm still too young to go but I've heard that it is fantastic! I strongly recommend going on the website and checking it out - it needs some updating since Pope Tawadros has been enthroned but it's still good :) Here's a link: h…
  • When you do what you do, you put your body into a survival mode. Meaning, your body will know your not getting any food, fats and nutrients and thus, when you finally start eating again your body will take all the food you eat and convert it into mo…

  • Now, I'm not sure how to say it in English but in Arabic the hat that bishops and priests wear is called an 'em-ma'. It's significance is to always remind the bishop/preist/pope that although they have authority, they are still under the commandment…
  • In your case if your praying after you wake up and before you sleep you should pray the first and twelfth hours. Believe it or not but the Agpeya has set time for praying each prayer: First Hour at 6am Third Hour at 9am Sixth Hour at 12noon Ninth Ho…
