    well, in the procession, we say aripamevi, thanksgiving prayer followed by the verses of the cymbals without the cymbals, sad agios, the gospel, then the responses. i think that's that's the basic stuff.

    Are you sure its Aripamevi we say in the procession, or is taht just the common popular tuqs? If it is...what is the true tuqs...?

    Hello Everyone,

    My friend Ashraf has lost one of his brothers and on the 3rd day we sang a very comforting song named " fe deyarak ya yasou3" I believe it is old and well known.

    I was blessed to play it on the Oud while everyone sang along.

    God bless,

    Sydney

    If I may ask, How long is it for people that are related to the person/people to were black and when do they stop?

    Is it a month?
    Is it 50 days?
    Is it 2 months?

    Forever,

    Its whenever they feel they are happy for those that left because they have been united with Christ.

    What do you mean? You don't wait a week, a month, 2 months, 6 months or a year. You shouldn't wear black at all! In fact you should wear white, the person that passed away is finally getting rest with Christ, I believe that is not something to mourn on.

    Actually, it's a tradition, it's a sign of respect towards the person who has passed away, the question is how long? Thank you again for the response!

    Forever,

    I don't believe its a tradition, I believe that you show people that you are sad the person died... But thats only my opinion, some people I guess think otherwise.
