  • [quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=10998.msg133552#msg133552 date=1300767421] Yes I would like to see that text too. Anybody have any idea where to find the Greek text used in HCOC's recordings? [/quote] Are you looking for the original or the actua…
  • Also since this request is still outstanding, If anyone has a liturgy of st Cyril in English(aside from the one on this site) That would be awesome as well. Thanks!
  • Thanks man, I'm more or less looking for an actual audio file. But this will hold me over until someone will find it :). God Bless

  • [quote author=Zoxsasi link=topic=11053.msg133563#msg133563 date=1300772497] Come on geomike, I love the Coptic orthodox church very much!!! But look at the philokalia, art of prayer, etc. This is from the EO. I'm sure you love them too. I find …

  • Tishori and Je efmevi, all the rites refer to that. Its not correct to say taishori or fai pe pi
  • Yes, as far as my knowledge goes that's what a community means in that sense. There is group of Copts in that area but they don't have a church or a serving priest for that community. Most likely a priest from near by states or the priest who has be…
  • [quote author=copticuser20 link=topic=10992.msg133192#msg133192 date=1300313067] And we agree with the Church of Constantinople? And was the church of Constantinople the eastern orthodox churche? [/quote] Yes, we do not have the Filioque in our cre…
  • [quote author=Κηφᾶς link=topic=10990.msg133188#msg133188 date=1300310603] + Irini nem ehmot, I'm sure it is the same. I'm more interested in the history and development/evolution of this idea. I'm curious where it came from, if it exists in the can…
  • Remnkemi, For me personally, it does not matter to me what the pronunciation is as long as I understand what I'm speaking or chanting. I was not stating a fact but an opinion that those who follow OB hold. While, I do personally agree that OB seem…
  • Why do you say that? It follows the same pattern that every other feast does. Are you implying the feasts have lost tunes as well?
  • You are probably used to Greco-Bohairic which is a mix between greek and bohairic. Its supposedly a false way of pronunciation. The "true" pronunciation or most accurate is Old Bohairic which Abouna Shenouda is using.
  • [quote author=ophadece link=topic=10975.msg133039#msg133039 date=1300175675] This specific point I completely agree with Mina. Without starting a new post, I guess that applies to psalm 150 for both ceremonials too. If you listen to the one for Lent…
  • The text is the same. St. Basil does not have it at all, if its said during that liturgy its a mix between St Gregory's and St. Cyril's Liturgy response. This is not truly a part of the liturgy but has been adopted. The difference in tunes between S…
  • Unworthy1, As far as I know they are only allowed to distribute the blood so long as there is a priest present, but if the priest lets say, passes away in the middle of the liturgy and the bread and wine have become Body and Blood, the highest rank…
  • Its annual, je afsaji for vespers, ouini afshai for liturgy

  • Are you talking about Je penyot for lent, or the prayer Our father in coptic?
  • [quote author=epchois_nai_nan link=topic=10952.msg132629#msg132629 date=1299742061] It/He [/quote] Epchois, the Holy Spirit is not an IT, the Holy Spirit is a Person of the Trinity and should not be referred to as an it. We should only say He. A …
  • PopeKyrillos is right, its not as common in our church since not many are willing to commit themselves to the church in the manner a deacon is supposed to be committed so they are never ordained full deacons. The full deacons that are ordained are u…

  • Either A Isoos or afernestivin. The A and af place the sentence in a past tense. Without it, you are in essence saying, Jesus Christ fasts for us, not fasted.

  • Just the cross.
  • The cymbals aren't played simply because the tunes don't match something that would need cymbals. The cymbals are not meant to represent joy, they are ONLY for keeping the beat. Period. The rites of weekday liturgies are as follows: Liturgy is hel…
  • [quote author=aiernovi link=topic=10930.msg132313#msg132313 date=1299547292] the nakous is just the arabic word for cymbals or bells. It refers to the same instrument we still use today [/quote] Thats correct. Nakhous refers to cymbals however, t…

  • The litanies that abouna prays do have responses that the deacon is supposed to say. It doesn't have to be audible that it is heard but most definitely should be said. Look up the book Spirituality of the Liturgy by HG Anba Metaous. There it lists t…
