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…
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.
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.
Hmmmm. You can't just brushed off like that and say "indulgence are a thing from the Latin Catholic rite and it's from the middle ages"... you are a CATHOLIC Coptic. For as much as you would like us to believe otherwise, you are under the jurisdicti…
I changed the category of the discussion to Non-Orthodox Inquiries.
The concern that we have as orthodox against the rosary is NOT that it's a glorification of the Virgin St Mary, we have much more detailed prayer that does that in each of our trad…
So those are actually not the oldest recordings... There are some that are older with random recordings of hymns and liturgy parts for different priests, bishops, and cantors. I don't remember what was the label though.
- The different in the Kerie Eleison is that the one M Sadek says is not called "festive"...it's called for the Oblations because its said in response to the Oblations Litany in Raising of Incense.
- The one in the link you mentioned is not the fes…
The thing is, that Anaphora is supposed to be prayed during feasts, in which case it is already the festive rite and the Lord have mercy is normally said in the festive tune.
M Sadek here says the Lord have mercy in the oblations tune:http://tasbeha…
I would like to first say that each deacon should say or do whatever their chorus leader and their priest agree on saying, and not just say things of their own accord, despite what is proper to say.
Now, the norm and what is agreed upon to be said a…
We have all these texts, yet they are not there for a reason.
The kiahk hymns, there are too versions of text, even in just considering the Arabic, so putting a specific version out there complicates this more.
The Theophany Laqqan just needs some…
Hello,
We are also working on a unicode font suite of our legacy CS fonts. That is the reason why we haven't pushed unicode on the forum. Yet, in the Coptic font page on copticchurch.net has already moved to applying unicode with a CS keyboard layou…
I am locking this post... Not because I agree or disagree, but because this is a purely political situation. I won't delete the post, because you have an opinion, and it is a Christian one. But, continuing to speak about this on a religious forum wi…
@minamakarEh. We cannot ignore the fact that local traditions are important. But we cannot take them and generalize them for everyone to say. Shed light on them, yes... preserve them, yes. But there isn't a need to justify the need to have everyone …
