after the holy resurrection feast.bright saturday (in less than 2 weeks :) !) is the only weekend day that we are allowed to fast by abstaining from food.so you can take Holy Communion early in the morning, have a small drink of water and then conti…

peace and grace, dann100.i have one from uk, which is in lovely modern english (produced recently, in the time of our kind patriarch tawadros 2nd).if you send me a personal message with your email address, i will send it to you.it should be small en…

your title suggests you want to ask about the different oriental orthodox churches, is that right?there are no theological differences, just cultural ones. generally, the ethiopians do the most fasting and the coptic orthodox church tries to catch u…

thanks minatasgeel,also that is an abouna question - each person needs to discuss how much to fast at confession.if your priest is too busy to confess soon, then start small and then increase it a little and check it out with your priest as soon as …

wow they made myron?i must have been too busy 'in real life'!do you have any information? i only saw an article about making it in 2021. as for the chanting question - sorry it is way above my pay grade!

hi, i don't know if this is what you are looking for (i know nothing about computers and my level of coptic is only slightly less than nothing).a poster called nadermansi (hi to you if you are still around), posted something here:https://tasbeha.org…

pls delete the bot post (the blue words are a hyperlink that lead to a web page where the bot wants you to spend money)

wow, thanks for that, i have seen both saint movies and they are awesome, may their prayers be with us :)

people are generally nicer in real life than on forums.avoid forums!(this one is not too bad though ;) )please come and visit the lovely orthodox church, and if (and i hope and pray you don't) you have a negative experience, please try again in a di…

middled aged lady here - can you translate what you mean by 'discord'?in simple english it means a lack of harmony; i assume there is a new computer meaning for it. when i was growing up, 'wicked' meant 'really awesome' - it is amusing how words cha…

welcome, kransaalwyn :)i am in uk, so can't comment about african americans.most people in the coptic church are (obviously) african, but there are a few who think that skin colour is relevant somehow and that paler africans are superior to darker a…

i have no experience of the verse above, i will leave it for my friends above, who are more knowlegeable than me, to comment. is abouna bishoy kamel an official saint now?that is nice, he was a shining example of humility and service.:)
-
the ones i know are very discreet about it, so online posts on the topic are not very common.but the main reasons are the same as for all people joining the church - logic (look at the stars - did they really all get there without a big dose of ener…

this is great.i also want to add that many monks and nuns do not have university degrees.for those people who go to work after school or who do voluntary work, the idea is that the person learns useful skills in life and doesn't just go to the monas…

ps - that author was a french catholic priest:https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Author:Arthur_Adolphe_Vaschalde https://gedsh.bethmardutho.org/Vaschalde-Arthur-Adolphe-CSB and taught at 'The Catholic University of America (CUA) where he received a Ph.D…

i have looked at your link and realise now that he is the one we know in the coptic orthodox church as saint philoxenus of mabbug.he is listed as a saint in 'A Panoramic View of Patristics in the First Six Centuries – Fr. Tadros Y Malaty' and he wro…
-

see here:https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/17105/coptic-unicode-font-why-how-to-display-correctly-on-screen

the new font looks a bit square and spiky and not round and swirly like the 'cs avva shenouda' font.but i think it looks more like the ancient inscriptions i have seen, so I will have to get used to it!my lessons were in the swirly font, so my brain…

the second question is difficult (i haven't read that much) but as for the first, adam was sinless untill he chose to sin.i don't know if he was getting old, maybe others can answer that.(i didn't meet him, i am old but not as old as him, ha ha!) ou…

hi i am a sis not a bro:-)i just like saint matthias, so used a male saint as my avatar. so you were looking for the online version of father samuel's book - i don't think there is one.also a nice lady in my local bookshop looked it up for me - it i…

that is the online version, bro - download and enjoy!thanks to john (whose saint are commemorated today - saint john the short - and tomorrow saint rewis).maybe john was born exactly at midnight so he got names from both days! ;)happy name day :)
