  • Welcome, kalsam. I am interested to know why you called this thread "Christ's nature?".
  • Father Peter, I am really glad that you are an administrator for these forums. While most members of tasbeha.org offer their personal opinion (including myself), I feel comforted to see the opinion of a priest (ie an opinion that reflects the Church…
  • Hi Cyril, I don't know the answer to your question, but my guess is this: This prayer is suitable for the Feasts of the Cross because it makes several references to the Cross: "Thus truly the Logos of God suffered in the flesh and was sacrificed …
  • Hi Michael, I am looking at Albair's Deacons Service book, 2nd ed., page 298. It says: Epiphany Paramon Vespers & Matins: - Verses of the Cymbals for the Paramon - Doxology for the Paramon - Gospel Response for Epiphany Paramon - Concluding…
  • Dear Copt_believer, 1) The "Syrian Fraction" is a prayer within the Liturgy prayed in the Coptic Orthodox Church. It is one of many "Fraction Prayers" that the priest may choose to pray during the Liturgy.The priest selects a Fraction Prayer that m…
  • To add to all that is mentioned above: Was it the case that different regions of Egypt had variant hymn traditions. I am sure there was. There are certain hymns where a different musical version existed in different parts of Egypt. So, the words wou…
  • Dear Father Peter, Merry Christmas (sorry for being 2 days late). I have two questions, please: 1) When does the British Orthodox Church celebrate Easter, with the Coptic Church or the Western Churches (Catholic etc)? 2) How does each church cal…
  • Hi Cyril97, I will tell you my understanding of 7 & 4 Praises. Consider the ANNUAL Midnight Praise. In it, you say the 4 hoses and the Theotokia of the day (one Theotokia only). Now, during the month of Kiahk, you can do the same (4 hoses and…

  • Thanks for the reply, minagir. By the way, does anyone know what happened to Muallem Ibrahim's website (www.ibrahimayad.com). I remember seeing it a couple of years ago, but now it doesn't work. Does Muallem Ibrahim have another website?
  • Thank you, JoyfulinHim. I had seen/heard those ones before. I was looking for the "full rite explanation with Coptic hymns" in the usual Muallem Ibrahim style. I want to obtain (purchase, if necessary) those recordings but it's hard to try to order …
  • kmeka001, My source for this information is the Deacon Service book by Muallem Albair Mikhail. I have also used the Rites book by El-Sorian Monastery. (1) The Feast of Nativity   (A) Vespers: -Festal (joyous) tune                   -Verses of the …
  • My choice would be "Ep-oro" in its processional tune. The following clip from YouTube demonstrates it well. If you find a better quality version of this recording, I think it would suit your purpose. The "oud" instrument makes it sound nice.
  • [quote author=minagir link=topic=9918.msg121439#msg121439 date=1288204323] there are separate lice occasions tapes that i know ppl brought from the old cathedral in egypt. [/quote] Hi Mina, I am interested in getting copies of those live recordin…
  • [quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=9918.msg121435#msg121435 date=1288202493] Why are you so interested in him, specifically? [/quote] Allow me to explain: Many years ago, and before currently available sources were made (eg HCOC, Ibrahim Ayad…
  • Hi everyone, This topic (Wagdi Bishara) has been discussed in these forums before (in 2007). Please refer to the following link: http://tasbeha.org/content/community/index.php?topic=4905.0 Regards, Mechaiel
  • Hi, It took me years to learn that hymn. I taught myself by listening to recordings of it many times. The hymn is 18 minutes but there is a small trick that can help you. There are many repetitions within the hymn. The "ente" part is the same tune …
