In Epiphany, is the Church supposed to say [coptic]`o Iourdanou Baptictyc[/coptic] 3 times, or, is the Church supposed to say [coptic]`o Iourdanou Baptictyc[/coptic] twice after [coptic]`o ekpar;enou genne;yc[/coptic] because many books say to do either one?

    In Epiphany, according to the khidmit shamas, nahdet el-kanayes-pg62
    and muallem farag book-pg68
    It says to say 3 times, [coptic]`o Iordanou baptictyc[/coptic].

    The only book i seen that says to say [coptic]`o ekPar;enou genne;yc[/coptic] first is Albair's book, which shoulnd't be a primary source.

    and also, if you think about it, Theopahny is a great feast. we say all 3 the same in Nativity and Resurrection, why not in Epiphany to.

    i agree with minagir, most books i've seen all say to say it three times. It is a major feast of the Lord and again as minagir said we say the verses three times on Nativity and Resurrection so it should be said three times.

    In the Cathedral it was said three times as well...

    His Servant,
    Is it off of a recording or what you heard?

    In a recording of Ibrahim Ayad on this website has him sing [coptic]`o ekpar;enou genne;yc[/coptic] first, and then [coptic]`o Iordanou baptictyc[/coptic].

    no i do not have a recording it was live on aghapy... the reason was i believe as it was stated before it is a major feast of the Lord... it has its own hymns. It's not any less of a feast than Christmas. the only Feast that is held Higher than all the others is Resurection- for obvious reasons.

    His Servant, Mina, and John,
    Thanks a lot for the clarification about this because it has been on my mind for a while. It just confused me because the Laqan Book says first [coptic]`o ekpar;enou genne;yc[/coptic] then two [coptic]`o Iordanou baptictyc[/coptic]. So, yeah, I finally understand. Thanks a lot!!!
