  • OK lets get some things straightened out here: Annunciation = Major Feast of the Lord Lazarus Saturday = Fixed Day (not feast) Annunciation can not be missed, so there will be no Lazarus Saturday. Some have mentioned that we should skip Annunciat…

  • If you really want the app to succeed fully, I suggest diving into the Android Market. Many apps that are on iPhone only become famous once they are available cross-platform and all smartphone users can access it.
  • [quote author=Ioannes link=topic=13005.msg153094#msg153094 date=1331780803] People! Enough with this miracle crap. Why have we become so obsessed with miracles. All I hear in this church is miracle this and miracle that! Is the Eucharist not enough …
  • [quote author=geomike link=topic=13019.msg153015#msg153015 date=1331680433] What i did on many long hymns, is i just took the hymn 5 seconds at a time and i would make my own paper where i would draw the hazza the way i visualized it and it helped a…
  • it might help some people, but the best way ive learned is to just listen tot he recording over and over and over until you can sing along with the whole hymn. the rest test whether you know the hymn or not is wether you can say it by yourself witho…
  • Hymns maps (the papers with hazzat) will only help you if you actually know them hymn! it is impossible to learn a hymn by just looking at the hazzat. the goal of the hazzat is for those who already know the hymn to help them not mess up.
  • This book is great for Bohairic: http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/so-you-want-to-learn-coptic-a-guide-to-bohairic-grammar/5570553 I took a Bohairic course and this was the textbook. You might be able to find a better deal that the one I posted…

  • [quote author=Rony link=topic=13007.msg152903#msg152903 date=1331266920] We all have a purpose to fulfill in this lifetime: To reach Heaven. As far as the other purposes, they are secondary. [/quote] I think our goal should be more focused on be u…
  • This is a good idea, but sounds like A LOT of spam for the end user. Can you imagine all those ad-bots floating around here sending you text messages too? lol

  • it just sounds like your mom saw the time is late and thought like you might like to sleep... not a big deal. If your parents interrupt you while you are reading the Bible, then tell them that you are reading the Bible! don't assume they know alread…
  • can you tell us your age so we can more accurately respond?

  • I'm not sure which part of the Divine Liturgy are your referring to.
  • i think Ioannes meant a physical icon, does anyone know an online bookstore that sells icons of saints?
  • [quote author=Copticandproud link=topic=12881.msg151499#msg151499 date=1328500051] Apenchois is a good one. [/quote] doubt it, most kids 4th grade and under can learn apenchoic easily. they've heard the tune before, all they need to learn are the w…
  • technically Palm Sunday also should be fitari since it is a Feast of the Lord. But we continue fasting while waiting for the Resurrection.
  • you should expose them to the theotokias and various hymns of the church.

  • Genesis 38:8-10  (NKJV) 8 And Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife and marry her, and raise up an heir to your brother.” 9 But Onan knew that the heir would not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in to his brother’s wife, that he…

  • This is great Abouna! Thank you so much!
  • Psalm 23 is always great. Pray using the words of the Holy Spirit through King David the Psalmist. God Bless
  • I also feel the same way, but i think its ok since we first need to attain the unity with our Lord after death before we can look forward to the resurrection. Does anyone else have an opinion?
