  • Marina, First off, Welcome to the Site, Second: Swearing is WRONG. Just cuz Abouna's Daughter does it doesn't make it right. Just cuz our parent's sometimes do it doesn't make it right. SWEARING IS WRONG. IT is good that you keep your tongue clean.…

  • what's the third language?
  • Laura, I believe there are two ways you can take the blame. Here are examples and scnarios: Example 1: Lets say you have a borther that stole some money from your parents. You know that they will repremand him more than you. So you go and tell your…
  • While I am a fanatic orthodox (in most cases) I am willing to be open minded in this case. I live in the US and I recently got a copy of the Fiji Church coir CD and it was GREAT. I LOVE IT. They embraced our hertiage, our language and our tunes. TH…
  • [quote author=PrincessMary link=board=1;threadid=1841;start=45#msg28296 date=1118687811] 1) which saint wrote the creed? 2) the devil vanished upon hearing the name of this saint?, and what is the name of the magician that believed in christ because…
  • What exactly happens, we can never be sure (none of those who passed away and came back gave an account that is available to us today that s trust worthy) However, there is NOTHING that says the soul lingers for three days. The three day thing has 2…
  • Great topic Mazza, Every Jewish Person (till this day) will tell you which tribe he/she is from (from the 12 tribes). Jacob was the one that gave birth to the 12 sons, Jacob was the younger son of Isaac (who gave birth to Esso and him) Isaac was the…
  • chief of Sinners, Right answer. That is the only saying we have from him. He is a GREAT saint non-the less. Here are a couple more: 1) She repremanded her father for leaving the faith, he died as a martyer after that 2) he used to be an instructor…
  • Sorry Princess, You are a day late and a Dollor Short (lol Just Kidding) You Knew the answer anyway. Good Job. Here is a tough one: This saint said "He who runs away from tribulation, runs away from God" Who is he?
  • Sorry, My aunt is in Egypt and I strongly doubt she will send it to me (she doesn't have it scanned) Sorry, i am sure someone else has a picture like it :-\
  • St. George questions: I should know, Her feast wasn't too long ago. I read her story in the synexarium (must have been during lent) Sorry, You got me on that one. Mark: Are you talking about Elijah and Enoch? ( I think that's the right spelling)
  • Imagine us starting a thread about Eachin Siant in the coptic church!!!! LOL the site would be HUGE (esp if we add 49 for the 49 elders of Sheheet, the 318 assembled at Ephsus, etc... lol) Anba Bishoi is a GREAT Saint, his body did not decompose as…
  • His name was Philopateer which Means beloved of the father. His feast is on August first.
  • Mary, you are right, St. Tadros Has a dragon. Saint Marina has a picture of the devil himself (ugly lookin fella with two horns and red eyes) keep them comming guys. something a bit more challanging now...
  • Safaa, Great reply. Abouna Moises (he is the priest in the Archdiocese in Cedar Grove) once said that we worry about our image and make sure people see that we are Christian that we sometimes forget to be christian. Lieing is NOT christian. Takin…
  • Great Topic, Aight, the answer you have all been waiting for (lol I feel kinda humble) -which saint has a lion by her in her picture? Her name is Saint Anasimon (I think that's how you spell her name) also titled "Queen of the wild beasts" and "t…
  • Mike Ecellent topic. So many great responses, don't know If I can add anything to them but I will try: First, what is prayer? It is our way of talking ot God. H.G. Bishop Youannes said "The simplest and best diffintion of prayer is talking to God" …

  • Great Story!!! Thanks for posting it The funny thing is I was in a meeting over the weekend and H.G. Bishop David attended and gave us the SAME example (Darkenss is the absance of light) he even elaborated by saying "I can bring light into the room…
  • You can find the text to most of the Pope's Poems in the back of the Arabic version of his first book "The release of the Spirit" Also, it has been published in many song books. thought this might help. I think all his poems are Amazing, but th…
  • Ladies and Gents, While what Iqbal said about being prepaired is important before you start being asked questions and don't know how answer them. As you know, today was the Feast of Assention. I had the blessing of reading the Catholic Epistle. Here…

  • I agree with Mazza, baby is alive from day 1. But as many have said, God is just and merciful. He also said "in My Father's house there are many mansions" so He has a special place for them. It is the paren't fault however if the baby is not baptiz…
  • Guys, Awsome topic An orthodox who wants to marry somone else has two options: 1) Convert to that somone else's religion 2) That somone else converts to yours (orthodoxy) Option 1 means that you will NOT get married in an orthodox church and you …
  • Nahda, Pray all the time and do not cease prayer. God asked us to pray. He said "come to me all you who are troubled and heavy labored and I will relieave you" I attended a sermon by H.G. Bishop Youannes (H.H.'s Secretary) He said: There are three…
  • Mazza here is another option for you. In the Articles section, on the very top, there is a PDF file with the whole Midnight (sunday) Psalmody in PDF. It is over 11MB so it may take a while. But it has English, Arabic, coptic and coptic in both arabi…
  • Hos Erof, Great Post. Actually I love the whole Sunday theotoky, they talk about the tent and what it stands for. It takes about the symbols of Virgin Mary in the tent (the dome, the ark, etc...)
  • Joe, I don't know if it is available on this site (or any other at this point) simply because it changes depending on who is attending. The Hymn goes on untill the end, then you say: He tenni evky ente peniot etiot en archi erevs papa ava shenoud…
  • Haile Welcome to the site and Congrats in advance on being a deacon. All the replies above are nothing short of AWSOME. However, I would like to take a step back and examine carefully, what are the rolls of a deacon? Is it just to know, memories h…
  • Sandra, Download the coptic fonts and install them on your computer http://www.copticchurch.net/coptic_fonts/ You should be able to change fonts (in word, excel, etc...) like you would any other font. It takes a bit of learning, but most Coptic C…
