In fact, he stops at "`nanti`a" and doesn't say the rest. Why is this included in the text if it is not said? Who added it?
Sorry to hijack the thread but I have a small note about the wedding hymns that I've been wondering about, pertaining to the response found here: http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/view/1476.
If you look at the text, the Coptic is far too long to fit …
Hello,
This is a tough situation. I'm a student as well and this kind of stuff is common.
Your professor is facing pressure from her superiors to make these rules. The "co-professor" (or TA?) is usually more lax and therefore you can listen to the…

If it helps, I was recently at St. Mark's Cleopatra in Heliopolis, Egypt, and the deacons chanted the full hymn even though Abouna had mentioned the names of the departed right after the deacon's response.
At our church, however, the priest doesn't…
The OP stated he already read the commentary of St. John. As for the link I posted, the author may not be Coptic Orthodox, but his insight into the chapter still holds.
Hello,
This is a very important passage and especially as it's "wedding season" we'll be hearing these words many times in our church. Take a look at this: http://enduringword.com/commentaries/4905.htm I think he does a very good job of summarizing…
I'm really curious about what Asomen sounds like in other languages! The French sounds very nice, and I hope people can post versions in other languages. Can you guys also possibly stop discussing / arguing in this thread? It's not answering the OP'…
Hmm, a lot to chew on, I agree that it doesn't make sense to add the Pope and Bishop at the end, I will see what the deacons at church do and follow them. However, still wondering, for feast and fast Aspasmos Adam, which verses do we say?
The beginning was very, very interesting and I was watching it even though I didn't understand some of the Arabic. The anecdotes about our fathers the Popes and the other Cantors were all really interesting! What completely and totally killed it for…

In the SUS diocese they say the verse for HG Bishop Youssef in the Hitenis, the verse in Ifrahi ya Mariam, and even the Hiteni after Ekesmarout regardless of whether or not he is present. They only say the addition to the deacon responses and Nisave…
Alright, back on topic...
Silly question, but why is Cantor Ibrahim Ayad's tonya always a slight tint of yellow while the rest of the deacons are white? I mean, surely he does it on purpose, but I always wonder, is he doing it on purpose?

I don't know if CIA left or not but can anyone ask him why he records "Apikhristos analempsis" while Deacon Albair records it as "Xristos?" What is his reasoning behind it?…
A monk at St. Moses Abbey taught me the following three types of prostrations:
1. Metanoia (Repentance)
This is the one we do during the Great Lent and I believe the one forbidden until the "sagda" prayers after the Pentecost liturgy.
2. Worship
