Faith Issues / Feasting on Fasting Days
« on: February 17, 2012, 08:14:39 PM »
What are we allowed to eat at Feast times that fall on Fasting times.
I was reading that fish is allowed on these occasions. Is it the same during Lent?
Yesterday was The Feast for Entering the Temple. When Christ was first presented in the Temple as a baby

Could we have eaten fish yesterday??

Is next month the 40th anniversary of Pope Shenouda III?
If so, does anyone know what he likes?
What would be a good gift to give him?

Greetings.
I would like to know, please, if a husband and wife can take confession together? Since they are two that become one; does this mean they can take confession together??

Random Issues / What's with the 'black face'???!!
« on: October 17, 2009, 02:04:18 PM »
Hey, why are people starting to use black face again?? I've seen it a couple of times lately........Actually, three times; and as they say "three strikes and your out"!
Is it because America has a black President? So they want to try and degrade black people any chance they get?
Really shows you how much prejudice there still is in the world!
You know I wasn't going to say anything; but it really, really hurt me to see 'black face' used in the Saint movie.....I think it was St. Anthony??! Can't remember exactly. This Saint had an Ethiopian friend and I was really looking forward to the part when I would see his Ethiopian friend.......dear Lord, I was sooooooo frightened when they portrayed the Ethiopian as a man with 'black face'! Gosh is that what anyone would want their children to think 'black people' looked like??!! I mean it really scared me! I can imagine what it would do to a child....yuk!
I would like to say, having visited Ethiopia, that Ethiopians are some of the most handsome, beautiful people in the world!
I know people are forced to do things because of oppression, but I feel I should speak out against such demeaning acts as 'black face' actors! I would like to complain to whomever produced that movie, because I think it is evil to do such a thing and evil like a cancer spreads and spreads....

Greetings!
Does anyone know any information about how the Saint videos on this website are made.
I mean....where the producers, directors, actors were educated. Are there Film-making schools in Egypt or did they study in Europe or America?
Thanks in advance for any info!

What did Jesus mean when he said: "Assuredly, I say to you that there are some here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God present with power."
Does that mean there are still people living today who were alive when Christ walked the earth? I think movies like 'The Highlander' are based on this verse.
