I loved reading the posts about this subject. It just goes to show how alive the Alexandrian School of thought and interpretation are, even today amongst our laity (i.e. the allegorical and symbolic, mystical interpretation of the meaning of 3 days …

[quote author=Copticandproud link=topic=12886.msg151551#msg151551 date=1328579319] In Jonah chapter 3 verse 3 and 4, it says: "So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, a three-…

I don't know Russian but the prayer rope in Russian is called chotki (чётки)...it may help you to search online with this as a keyword.

I'm thinking of getting an ereader myself and while I like the design and functionality of the Kobo better than the Kindle, the Kindle has waaay more Orthodox/Christian books available and are slightly cheaper at times (1 or 2 dollars less).

I would love to go back in time to visit the Patriarchate in the last century and a half and see how the service was before the microphones and even electrical lighting was used...the liturgy must've had a very mystical and other-worldly feeling...o…

[quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=12861.msg151286#msg151286 date=1328038483] Timothym, Can you please clarify something? In the three textbooks you mentioned that confirm a uvular fricative "gh", were these textbooks describing standard Modern (Dem…

imikhail, I'm not really sure anymore what the answer to your question is...it seems like every Coptic community has their own way of pronouncing the language. I've heard some people say "ajeyos" and then "ageyos" and also "aghios". And also the pop…

well, I speak Greek (not perfect at all) but still, ever since I was young in school, we were always taught that this is so...and plus you can hear it when people speak; whether in ecclesiastical Greek or the common day-to-day Greek. There are few e…

hmm, I'm debating between a kindle and a kobo. I know both are at competitive prices but I also want one with colour. What can I say, I'm a colourful guy ;D

Dear Fr Peter, I agree with those who said that a message about 10-20 minutes maximum is the best option. These days, people are busier than ever and the attention span is unfortunately shorter. Also, the message will be more focused for the perso…

[quote author=Rony link=topic=12830.msg150865#msg150865 date=1327114410] It's okay, I think. Unless their Abouna says something, then it's wrong. Otherwise I don't think it's much of a big deal, really. I don't think it says anything about how to we…

According to one (non-Orthodox) source, this is interpreted as that John probably didn't know that Jesus was the Messiah until he saw the sign mentioned in verses 32-33. Although your point about their earlier in-womb meeting is valid. I wish I ca…
