  • Elsi, I report the error by clicking on the "Contact Us" part of the website.
  • Hi Bishoy, I have been using the copticchurch.net website, for years, in setting up our Mass PowerPoint on Sundays. It is very well set-up and I continue to use it, but occasionally some readings are incorrect. I try to report these when I see them…
  • [quote author=kmeka001 link=topic=10205.msg144489#msg144489 date=1315760215] Does anyone know if the recording of the Pascha Rite on CIA's new website is the same as the one on this website or is it newer? Thanks. [/quote] I am not familiar with th…
  • Hi, Raga is HOPE. Try: arabicchristianstore.com orthodoxbookstore.com copticstore.com If none of them have it, send an email to the first one and they can order it in for you.

  • [quote author=ebnyasoo3 link=topic=11358.msg136986#msg136986 date=1304225514] Did you all hear about the beatification of the late pope John Paul II. [/quote] Beatification, in the Roman Catholic Church is the third of four steps in the canonisatio…
  • [quote author=copticuser20 link=topic=11319.msg136530#msg136530 date=1303753743] Not that difficult. Liturgy begins normally with offering Alleluia Fai Pe Pi Everything is farahi Taishori Hiten for Saint Mary " for Archangel Michael (Resurrection o…
  • This is slightly off-topic: What is the correct term for the "Holy 50 days after Ressurection"? In Arabic, it is just "El-khamsin," meaning "The fifty." Is there a word for it in English?
  • Thanks to everyone for your replies, especially Fr Peter and Remenkimi for your research.
  • The books I've seen only have the first one or two sentences in Coptic then the rest is Arabic or English. I think they only put a small Coptic part so that it may be chanted in its tune, then the rest of the Commentary is read in the language of in…
  • [quote author=DanieM link=topic=11291.msg136339#msg136339 date=1303245154] I .. will be taking some of the deacon's duties over Pascha (Mainly on thursday-sunday) [/quote] Which duties will you be performing: is it chanting of hymns or organising t…
  • I agree with imikhail. This is what we have been doing in our church for the last ten years or so (since the Holy Synod made that decision). The Creed should be said in its entirety. It is a statement of our faith; and since our faith does not chan…
  • Here you will find the 6th hour psalm of Good Friday in Attribi (Ke iperto) tune: http://tasbeha.org/mp3/Hymns/Holy_Week/Good_Friday_1984,_Cathedral_Chorus_Led_By_Ibrahim_Ayad.html (It is in Arabic but still useful for learning purposes). Here y…
  • Please also note that in the Long "Aspazeste," which has the same musical hazzat in the "estomen" part (at 3:36), Muallem Ibrahim uses 4 hazzat. http://tasbeha.org/mp3/Hymns/Annual/Deacon_Responses/Ibrahim_Ayad/Liturgy.html
  • [quote author=Michael Boutros link=topic=11146.msg134749#msg134749 date=1301532556] In Ibrahim Ayad's recording, at approximately 7:12, he starts saying it. He says "Peniot ethowa-" and then he does three up-and-downs followed by two hazzats to lead…
  • Father Peter, I am really glad to hear that you are researching an comment on this topic. I look forward to reading it. It is a great blessing for everyone here in the forums to read your input. Mechaiel
  • This hymn is recorded in the HCOC Passion Week CDs. If it's not available from your church bookshop, you can buy it from www.orthodoxbookstore.com
  • HCOC teaches it here: http://www.copticheritage.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Classes&file=index Good luck.
  • [quote author=Cyril97 link=topic=10986.msg133149#msg133149 date=1300292777] What do you sing during the procession? [/quote] You will find the answer here: http://www.copticheritage.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=PagEd&file=index&page…
  • [quote author=Cyril97 link=topic=10986.msg133142#msg133142 date=1300286328] How about in Saturday. How is the Verspers Praise different? [/quote] The Feast of the Cross is treated like Lord Feasts. You use the Festive (farayhee) tune and Palm Sunda…

  • [quote author=baladoos link=topic=10986.msg133101#msg133101 date=1300244801] Do we say Tai Shory or Tee Shory? Cantor Ibrahim Ayad says (on his tapes) that we say Tee Shory. [/quote] In Muallem Albair's Deacon Service book (2nd ed, p201), it says T…
  • Thanks, everyone. Here is what I think will happen: The Ordination Prayers will start after the Prayer of Reconciliation, and just before the deacon says, "Geet one another..." I assume that once the ordination is finished we would say: "Axios (3…
  • I agree with Minatasgeel. The Sunday evening prayer during Lent is a unique rite. It only happens during Lent. It is a completion of the Sunday rite. The readings are a part of the readings of that particular Sunday of Lent. Its Gospel relates to th…
  • Thanks for the lessons, ephchois_nai_nan. Keep up the good work.

  • Dear ebnyasoo3, I would like to add to what has been said above. If you can read Arabic, you will find many Annual Communion hymns in Muallem Farag's "Communion Hymns" book and in Muallem Albair's "Deacon's Service" book. Some of them are: -Our Fa…
