In order to learn Coptic more thoroughly, I have downloaded the Bible in Coptic, and I want to put the Coptic Bible next to the English Bible.

I've started with Psalm 1. Personally, I think this is a good way to learn Coptic. I hope to make pdf's of every Psalm that we use in the Agpeya, once a week, if the demand is high enough. You can learn more Coptic words by comparing the Coptic verses with the English verse. If you know the basic of grammar, it should be easy to figure out what every word means.

I was hoping someone could direct me to or make avaiable the recordings by Ibrahim Ayad for the Feast of Christ's entry into the temple.

He records the long teoienhikanos in it which is very beautiful- that is what I was after particularly. Thanks

I was just wondering...for the tasbeha during the Holy 50 days, do we sing the appropriate Psalis between each hoos like the Lenten tasbeha? Or can we just say annual tasbeha and then change the tune of the Psali and Commemoration? ]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/11319/liturgy-during-the-holy-50 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 13:42:33 +0000 Slickmand 11319@/community/discussions

How did Cantor Mikhael El batanoony memorise all the hymns of the church while he was a blind man & by the age of only 19?????? Don't you think that this is a type of a miracle or something? I mean I can understand that some people can memorise hymns easily, but how can a 19 year old guy memorise all these hymns?? according to what Cantor Tawfik say in his interview, he says that Cantor Mikhael used to know many other hymns that are not available nowadays becuase he didn't have the time to teach therm to his students & he said that one of these hymns is the long alleluia introduction to the annual psalm 150 of distribution. mmm.................Just wondering that's all, what do you think? ]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/11337/tasbeha Thu, 28 Apr 2011 00:11:52 +0000 deacon p 11337@/community/discussions https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/11208/general-funeral-prayers-update Wed, 06 Apr 2011 23:05:15 +0000 Biboboy 11208@/community/discussions

I was wondering if anyone had the audio for the song "Very Early Sunday Morning". I looked at many sites and could not find it. If anyone could post it or the link to it, it would be greatly appreciated.

Please forgive me and pray for me,

When the deacons read the book of revelations and every time the deacon says: He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. What is the hymn that they sing?

I heard there was a new change that came from the Holy Synod concerning the Creed that you say it in full rather than just stop at "was incarnate..." and then continue with "Yes, we believe in the Holy Spirit..."

Cantor Ibrahim Ayad has the latter view.]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/11297/greetings-during-holy-week Wed, 20 Apr 2011 20:54:34 +0000 kyrollos faheem 11297@/community/discussions

So far I have a liturgy book (pdf) and a deacon service book (pdf) that I found online. They aren't great, but they are available.
I've bought the iCoptic App with all the readings (except Paschal readings -.- ) and the iCoptic Library App. I've also got iAlhan.
I also put all the hazzat I have from hazzat.com (pdf) and from http://downloads.strebekahorlando.org/HymnsMaps/

I found a Pascha book, but it only has Coptic and English, and where there is Arabic, there are dots.

It's kind of annoying. Does anyone know where I can find a pascha book in .pdf, and any other books in .pdf

Thanks so much :)]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/11294/rite-of-burial-service-on-good-friday Wed, 20 Apr 2011 02:50:46 +0000 kyrollos faheem 11294@/community/discussions

Maybe its just me, but it seems like its not just a difference of styles between different priests/recordings, but as if each person is reading the words to their own tune. Can someone please post a link to the actual tune that we're supposed to sing these powerful words to?

Thanks,

I've seen many variations of the way the Resurrection Re-Enactment is conducted. As we all know, in the cathedral, the lights are turned off and the curtain is closed immediately after the Acts are read. Then "O Nim Nai," "Ya kol asofoof," "The Resurrection Enactment" are prayed, then the lights are turned back on and the curtain opens again. In many churches, I've seen a variety where the lights are turned off only at the end or even the middle of "Ya kol asofoof."

My question is which way is correct? What is the Holy Synod's stance on this issue if it has ever been addressed in one of its annual meetings?

Like Meghalo for example,
we don't chant it.

Or rarely do we chant the hymn of intersessions or Sabaa' Taraeh (Seven Ways)
and the list goes on.

What's your take on this?]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/11261/the-rite-of-the-last-friday-of-lent Thu, 14 Apr 2011 02:37:53 +0000 Hennenm 11261@/community/discussions

I am trying to find the audio for the Golgotha hymn in English. I remember listening to it and having the cd but I cannot find it anymore. It was beautifully song.

I remember a line from it. It said," The fog and the clouds rained heavily, over your head your majesty."

God bless your efforts.

If you guys go to the link below:

you will find Ibrahim Ayaad and the chorus chanting the gospel reponse for Christmas. It is however different (as in added words, other than the "ocio afshai and epchois emepeou").

In my small Church we have tried to do a more and more complete round of services as our congregation has grown, but it would be useful to have a full list of all the services to compare with what we are doing this year. What is your church doing and at what times?
