Tentheno, Every hour during Good Friday symbolizes an event during that day in our Lord's life. At the 12th hour, He was buried (that's why we say Golgotha)

These are GREAT answers, keep them comming. Thought I would share mine with you as well. In the early church, the priest would bless the congregation by laying hands on them. As the congregation grew, this became a lot harder task than anticipated s…

No one knows when Jesus was born, Suggestions (based on speculations) that He was ýborn in the summer (the shepherds were outside at night indicating that the weather ýmaybe warm not cold) among other reasons.ý I am not sure which ecumenical council…

There is one more reason During a funeral, there is raising of incense. Incense is considered an offering or a sacrifice. We do not give any offerings or sacrifice during Holy week because the ULTIMATE sacrifice is about to be given up for our sake.…

Marianne, Excellent topic. Thanks for bringing it up. All the answers above are great and it is hard to add anymore to it, but I will give two stories from the desert Fathers that might help. 1) St. Anthony When he was growing Old, the devil tempted…

Sixstringsoul, Its great what you are doing for your friend, May God Bless you and reward you. There is a book by Fr. Mikhail E. Mikhail from St. Mark's Church in Cleveland OH in English about this topic. It has a collection of verses, and some sec…

Mike, that was Wonderful man, being that we are on the topic. I take a step back, before the tomb, even before the cross and ask myself sometimes. " If I was born a jew during the time of Jesus, would I have been one of the "mob" that cried 'crucify…

Fadi answered question # 1 Here is question #2 The pope, since he is a human being, has a father of confession, much like the rest of us. He goes to him on a regular basis and recieves the absolution from him (I belive but I am not sure how that wor…

We start by Psalm 151 (I am the youngest among my brothers) Then Tasbeha, in the annual tune. We say Tenen (we only say it during the month of Kiahk and that night) We read parts from the old Testment (mainly talking about people who God has delive…

Also, on Wednesday, a woman came and pour down fragrant oil on his head (not to be confused with the woman that washed His feet with her tears) and it cost (estimated) 300 Denaris. We a comparison between the woman who pour expensive fragrant oil a…

haha, I heard a different variation of this, only difference is it came from Nostor Damos (did I spell his name right?) all figures to give the article authenticity. Fadi, i agree with you though, it seems like its a way to generate traffic to coll…

Do we believe in Papal Infallability? NO, That's why our pope has a father of confession. If so, from where did this concept originate? We don't. If not, why do Catholics believe in it? Not sure, it might have to do with the fact that the popes…

Fadi, right on the money. I went to Egypt this past summer and that's when I heard about him first. His church is in upper egypt, but it wasn't there all along. (This is a nice story, grab a chair everybody) In Egypt they used to have a traditon of …

Crazycopt, marmar is right, he can't be "married" to a diocese. Pope Shenouda, when he was a bishop, there was no Bishopric of education. On the other hand, H.G. Bishop Youssef is the Bishop of the Bishopric of the Southern Diocese of the US. Bisho…

IloveChrist,ý It takes a lot of courage and determination to confess this sin to others. It must be tough ýbut this shows that you are determined to stop and I am sure God will help you. ý There is a lot of advice on this board and they are all gre…

Also, usually, if you are trying to decide between option A and option B and that "sign" sugesest one. If it is from God, you will feel comfortable with that decision (even though you really wanted Option B). if not, you will not be comfortable. Whe…

We have out our church a few couples who are half Coptic half American. They are GREAT Christians. So I guess sometimes it works out. As long as they convert. I believe St. Paul said that you shouldn't be with someone of another denomination in Ma…

Changing your FOC, just like Pslmist said, is like changing your life monitor, all records get lost. If you feel he may not be helping you,, try to discuss it with him first. I heard abouna once say, you can tell your father of confession, "you need…

I know for a FACT that Coptic organizations, like BLESS USA mentioned above, will go ýthru GREAT Lengths not to have a picture of one of the brethren of the Lord anywhere. ýThis is degrading to them. Not only when they grow up, how would you feel if…

I kinda agree with little phareo, God has a way of sometimes saying "Here you go" or "Nope, that's not the one" but I believe that bestway to meet someone is not to be looking for them. It should happen naturally. I think that the best way is for a…

Great points, the ORTHODOX CREED is what we believe in, Mary, Good job bringing that up. Bishoy, I agree with you, however we should know enough and be prepaired to defend our faith should the situation asks for it. For example, While we don't talk…

lol, you Guys crack me up, I like this topic. This reminds me of a story about the pope. He had a meeting with a non-orthodox clergy and during the meeting, the pope sneezed, so that person went on to say "God Bless You". The pope looked at him, smi…
