  • 1) St. Stephen 2) Abd Il Maseeh Il Manahry 3) Anba Barsoum Il Erian Sleepy
  • It's a good thing for an older sibling to be concerned about their younger sibling and to watch out for them, however, it reaches a point where an older sibling begins to take the place of the parents themselves. Regardless of whether the younger si…
  • I love how this started out as a thread for the meaning of our names and became a full on war between Shoubra and Alexandria lol. Sleepy
  • Pascha week is the week that I wait for every year and once it's over I feel this great sense of loss. I absolutely LOVE this time of year because Lent is amazing to me, and I love Easter, and then Pentecost is right after that, but during Pascha we…
  • He's already gotten his well deserved reward, however, we have lost a priceless gem on this earth. I only wish his beautiful smile could be preserved forever. Sleepy
  • I don't think the problem is more or less what we want to have, but more about what it is we need in order to interact with others without having bad breath. We are gaining much, undeniably, however, it's an interesting question that maybe we should…
  • Abouna Sourial was extremely sick in the hospital. He was an angel. He always had a smile on his face and never ceased to spread happiness to others. He constantly asked about you and had the patience of a saint. He was a very soft spoken person, bu…
  • It pains me to have to write this down, but our dear and beloved Abouna Sourial passed away on friday the 15th. It's an extremely difficult time for us right now. To have ahd an angel in our midst and to have lost him is heartbreaking. We're all in …
  • Abouna Abd Il Maseeh Il Manahry. He was an amazing saint who was, and still is, truly inspiring. He encountered Pope Kyrillos more than once and was a good friend of his. Sleepy
  • Well, honestly, I don't know what to tell you. I guess you have to take up your cross, grin, and bear it. A simple sacrifice for God.  :) Sleepy
  • What minagir said is absolutely right. Also, part of confession included the humility to face someone and tell them that you've done wrong. If you confess online or even over the phone, that sense of wrong is lessened. Personally speaking, when I'm …
  • Is there no air-conditioning in the church? Sleepy
  • Just like minagir said, it's not exactly "haram", but it's not the wisest choice to make. If there's something better or more suitable you have to wear, then why not? The way I think about it is this: if I have to question whether or not what I'm we…
  • [quote author=His Servant link=topic=6084.msg81026#msg81026 date=1200443617] that isnt what i was taught by abouna... i was taught that on the feast of Pentecost the Pope makes more... not when it is running low. [/quote] I heard that when it is ru…
  • [quote author=Meena_Ameen link=topic=6084.msg80988#msg80988 date=1200296831] is this only the coptic orthodox church that has this myron? or do any other churches like the greek orthodox have it? [/quote] I believe all the sister churches who share…
  • I've heard about the first story. That is true. And I believe that every time that it's running low, the Pope adds to the original batch and distributes a portion to every church. Sleepy
  • My pleasure  ;) Sleepy
  • Wow. Wow. Wow. This topic seems to be blown way out of proportion. PopeKyrillos, I understand where you're coming from, but really, it all depends on a person's style and what they like. Plain and simple. Macy's and JCPenney are just as expensive, …
  • In coptic, Merry Christmas is said as "Pikhristos avmasf" and the person that the words were directed at replies with "Khen Omethmi Avmasf". I would use the coptic font but the "x" isn't coming out as a "kei" and I didn't want to write out the wrong…
  • K-St. Anba Kaou
  • I've been told this by my FOC and a number of priests. I trust them implicitly. Sleepymusician
  • F-St. Freig (or Anba Ruweis)
  • D- David the Prophet and the King
  • According to what I've been told, when St. Paul mentions that a woman should not raise her voice in the church, he is referring to gossiping and needless talking. He is not saying that once a woman enters a church, that's it for her. She is part of …
  • God takes us at the best possible moment in our lives. However. we don't know when that moment is for us. It may be 80 years from today, a year, maybe even tomorrow. It is this uncertainty that causes us to be watchful and vigilant in our prayers an…
  • [quote author=Tishori link=topic=6015.msg80329#msg80329 date=1197583449] St. Stephen by far! [/quote] I have to agree here! lol. I also have additions of Anba Barsoum El Erian and Abd il Meseeh il Minahry. He is a recent saint. Very, very awesome.
  • Joshua Harris isn't setting a moral code or a set of rules for us, all he's doing is telling us from his experiences why dating is bad and he uses examples and biblical references to help you better understand. Nowhere in the book is it stated that …
  • The very first lahn that I learned before even learning how to read properly was Niesnosteero. There's a pretty funny story behind it. lol. Sleepy
  • Well, as long as you, in general, aren't harming anyone else, then by all means, eat what you please. Sleepy P.S. Thanks for the help EpNomos EnTaio and Marianne87, I knew that I was missing some details...lol
  • [quote author=Marianne87 link=board=4;threadid=4047;start=30#msg58099 date=1153802933] Well ya nothing is simple... that was just my opnion :-\ [/quote] I'm sorry Marianne, I didn't mean to sound harsh. It was 1 in the morning so I wasn't concentra…
