  • [quote author=minagir link=topic=9063.msg113145#msg113145 date=1271037576] One thing that i have to say, calling it the "Re-enactment" is not exactly right.....it's just the Resurrection Enactment. That is what is used in the 2nd edition liturgy boo…
  • Thank you everyone, and thank you Marina6! The first part of that sermon explained the re-enactment very well. Thanks!

  • Thank you very much Mmbotrous & Coptic Youth!
  • My 2 cents: Maybe the churches outside of Egypt can have a fund-raiser specifically to send to Egypt.  But that would be just a one-time or once-in-a-while event.  Maybe instead we can have a donation box put on the same table where we go and get f…

  • [quote author=gigglyshy link=topic=6272.msg83784#msg83784 date=1205551622] I would give a list of the songs if I could understand Arabic. I suppose the ones in the movie about Tamav Erene are my utmost faviourite [/quote] Oh ok :) I wonder if the…
  • You know what..  If you check the Synaxarium on copticchurch.net, and look under Kiahk 2, and switch to arabic, St. Hermina is listed.  He's not listed under the english.  Maybe his story is in the process of being added to newly published Synaxariu…
  • Hi Gigglyshy, My guess is that people have searched for those movie songs and couldn't find them :)  .. since you didn't get an answer yet.  Maybe if you list some of the songs you're looking for someone can find them.  I believe they list the song…

  • I don't think the verse is saying the moon will turn into blood, but will be as red as blood. :)
  • Hello, I'm glad you brought this up Youstina... I was thinking about this recently, and one of the reasons I think I don't benefit is when the Liturgy becomes a "routine" from week to week. And that worries me.. Do you guys feel that it has becom…
