  • I also know what you're going through, it's the devils first hit. The devil will try to raise you're pride or remind you of the greatness of your sin to a level in which he can still have a grasp on you, but with a true repentant heart that is pract…
  • I believe the response you're talking about is the Great Aspazeste: http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/view/1440 I've heard it chanted only a few times usually during Nativity and the Resurrection Liturgies by the Archdeacon in our church so I'm guess…

  • I agree with George_Mina_Awad, people can easily misunderstand the true meaning of what was said in the bible by taking one verse out. From my understanding, this is what some other christian denominations do. By taking certain verses from many dif…
  • Christos Analemepsis! Hello, I read an excerpt written by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, and I found it very useful. He writes:       '"Today our Lord Jesus Christ ascended into heaven; let our hearts ascend with him. Listen to the words of …
  • Hello, Khristos Anesti! :), H.G. Bishop Matteous's book "How to benefit from the holy liturgy" is a good book but however doesn't explain much about the rites and why certain things are done in a certain way during church services. If you go to thi…
  • Khristos Anesti! ;D Hello Everyone, First off, I would like to start by saying that the resurrection enactment is my FAVORITE event in the church as is Resurrection is my favorite time of the year. :) Secondly, I have been told that the resurrec…
  • Hello Everyone, Xristos Anecti! Forgive me for I have not had time to read the posts from H.H.'s book. However, I had a related question. Does anyone have any articles or books talking about the 7 weeks of resurrection and what they have in common…

  • Hi Marmoura99, I love the poem and moreover the time you put into making a poem for Abba Nofer. It's perfect! Have you figured out the tune for the song? I'd like to say that when i first started reading the poem, i sang it! I sang it to the Anba A…
  • Along with what omelnour said, the reason we fast from midnight and not subtract 9 hours before a night liturgy (usually during the great lent or the ninevites' fast) is because Christ should be the first thing we receive into our bodies in any give…
