You cannot use custom fonts on Google docs, so this wouldn't work for Coptic since all the text is really just English letters with Coptic letters "faces" For the fonts: https://copticchurch.net/downloads/coptic_fonts/coptic_fonts_cs_standard_asci…

There need not be a hymn that is more authentic or another less. It's not about which is "right" or "wrong"... it's about learning the source and the developments of the hymns and rites.
-
I have never heard that "Tawfik rakebha on his sherat." to me this sounds as ignorant as "the sehidic sherat is different than the bohairic sherat so that why they are different." They are simply different.

The one M Ibrahim says, he said that he listened to it from a cantor somewhere in Beni suif.For M Tawfik, he is a source. Lets complicate things more... there is a third one that is long, and written in the musical notation book that was published b…

I agree with minamaker. Just consider how we read it in the local language throughout the year, not just Pascha. The Laqqan prayers all have prophecies that are all read in the same way. Even if the prophecy is only one or two verses, or if the next…

Hi hi, I'll take a look. Thank you
-
just more room for people to not understand or comprehand what's being chanted :-)
-
The problem with that implication is that it serves no propose. You would be saying the same thing twice, once chanted and once read--I don't see that to make any sense or beneficial. One can even say you are wasting time. I think we are just not c…
-
@minamakar, if people already are having a hard time "reading" the prophecies in the local language (English or Arabic or whichever), how would chanting it be better or even more beneficial?!I get what you are saying, and I do agree that there is a …

Very quickly...Orthodoxy is Orthodoxy. There isn't a faith that is 'more' or 'less' orthodox than another. It's either you follow what you believe is the truth (ie Orthodox), or you don't, in which case one is just fooling themselves in running arou…

There isn't a Coptic source for it. And you can't really find it in liturgical manuscripts
-
It's kinda not that authentic compared to the rest of the liturgy.
-
@ophadece....ehhh, atleast we were given a reason. @WadeYonas, I just got the update....and this is annoying a bit. But it looks like they changed it to match the part from the Thursday Psali, which is where these "mohayyars" come from. But this is …
-
Don't be sorry. We are supposed to know what we are saying and why.
-
I think there atleast one old manuscript that includes ⲉⲕ ⲡⲁⲣⲑⲉⲛⲟⲩ first ... And it makes sense considering that all those feasts, from Nativity to Cana of Galilee, are celebrations of the Divine Appearance. Nativity paralex is not new ... Always b…

Actually, 2 does change with season the same with the hymn. The decision of the Synod that Jojo_Hanna is mentioning is ONLY concerning the Creed, and nothing else. While all liturgical services are a declaration of our faith, the Orthodox Creed is …

I don't want to turn this post into an economy class...but I believe you can have 0% inflation while still have economical growth. In a "perfect" market, prices would just be in the proper point based on supply on demand, and productivity and GDP wo…
-
actually, inflation is very bad for a country such as Egypt since the majority are in the lower class, and the middle class is close to non-existent. Things are getting a bit better though...
-
Think of those that don't have a bank account. There was times where people were not even able to buy a loaf of bread... Which is the simplest sustenance that one can get in Egypt. Inflation is bad for the majority of any country since it hurts much…

Hey. Welcome to the forum. I would want to ask, what would be the purple of needing the Coptic translation of such words?!
-
Lol... We are probably just bias... He's not really Coptic
-
I haven't seen one in the Coptic tradition... but that doesn't mean that there isn't one.
-
Lol. It's not. The "engagement" rite, if one may call it that, has only been developed in the last 150 years or so. It was first introduced in the first printed book for the Sacrament of Matrimony. It was mainly created to allow the couple of to bre…
-
It's }soury always as the Synod decided on in its May 29, 1999 session. Without getting into details of the "standardization" of the current rite we currently have:- HICS recording was mainly of the Rite of the Contract of Possession, which does hav…
-
We don't have in the library. Sorry
-
Well, I am not referring to those per se. but, considering that what's asked is something that is recent, and we would compare it to the standards of sermons we get now, almost weekly, there wasn't as many people that new how to give a sermon during…
-
Sermons, in the same way you are thinking of today, was not really a thing specifically before the time of the Sunday School movement led by St. Habib Girgis. So, i doubt you'll find any recordings for those.
-
The Catholic Church would probably allow it. But as a coptic orthodox, you must not since we are not united in the sacraments.
-
I would like to make known that these writings are not part of any "coptic bible" canon. They simply happen to be in the Coptic language as the sect who used these writing was established in Egypt.

May I ask if your church started how communion is being distributed currently during the time of covid-19?
