    Wow.....thats a really good question, I know that this is not going to help much, but probably over 200 hymns.

    Thats my guess.

    Good luck on finding out.

    its almost impossible to tell, and heres why.
    the entire liturgy is itself a prayer, and a hymn is also a prayer, so any prayer in the Coptic Church is a hymn! we sing all of the prayers in the liturgy so it really is impossible to tell how many prayers there are

    well if you're talking just hymns George Kyrillos said there is over 1,048 known hymns today...

  • mabsootamabsoota
    that's great, i've only got 1,035 to go and i'll know them all!
    ;)

    HAHAHAHA, ur funny mabsoota. only 1,035. OHhH ur hilarious. hahaha good luck. keep it up the good work. bii
  • geomike
    mabsoota, i think you know way more than that. They count Kirie Eleison as a hymn. There are a total of like 5 or 6 ways that it is said so there is 6 right there. It's not like 1,048 hymns like Pekethronos, lol.

    Haha! You better start if you are going to make the world records for knowing the most hymns! That would be so cool, LOL.
  • geomike

    Probably not even close.  It may be your opinion, which is your right, but it also relative to a leveraging of a limited sampling with which to come up with that conclusion.
