  • [quote author=Pharaoh714 link=topic=13161.msg154564#msg154564 date=1334384612] Does anyone have any information about the Qodas al Habashi (The Liturgy of St. John the Evangelist) As far as I know the 3 Liturgies St. Cyril - Is the Liturgy of St.…
  • [quote author=morcousw link=topic=13225.msg154981#msg154981 date=1335420395] 2) The longer annual one prayed in vespers, matins, and the long litanies during liturgy (this one has a pause, the other one doesn't). I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter wh…
  • [quote author=Copticandproud link=topic=13201.msg154925#msg154925 date=1335280181] I understand what you are saying, but your example is a one time thing. Mine is forever, as my church does not ordain deacons or sub-deacons. [/quote] But see, the …
  • A church without a youth is a church without a future. A youth without the church is a youth without a future.
  • But why aren't priests or Bishops enforcing the batrashil rules? Its obvious if you see a kid running around church like its a playground wearing a tonia and a batrashil that doesn't fit him, that he isn't supposed to wear it. I also get angry when …
  • Only deacons who were ORDAINED as Agnostos and the ranks afterwards can wear them. I personally cannot stand it when little kids are running around in them. It is not decoration or anything.
  • I think the only litany that probably doesn't apply to us, in the US, now as much as it did in previous years (maybe even until 30 years ago) would be the Litany for the plants and weather.  It still does apply but  the church put that in the liturg…
  • My mom is starting Chemotherapy this week. Please pray for her. Thank God the cancer didn't metastisize. Please pray that she gets through the chemo quickly and strong and that the cancer is gone after.
  • Anba David did it at my church a few years ago. He changed the black curtains to the white ones. We always change them after service for Bright Saturday.

  • [quote author=bhm2c link=topic=13069.msg153513#msg153513 date=1332464225] If someone can help me with this, I would be greatly appreciative and indebted. I used to have a beautiful liturgy of HGB David that was in all coptic. Every single part of th…
  • Will there be a "Papal Message" this Easter? Will Anba Pachomious/the Synod as a whole or will we just not have one?
  • [quote author=Copticandproud link=topic=13055.msg153481#msg153481 date=1332372866] [quote author=George_Mina_Awad link=topic=13055.msg153480#msg153480 date=1332370271] [quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=13055.msg153456#msg153456 date=1332345337] No. …
  • [quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=13057.msg153471#msg153471 date=1332358736] As far as I can tell, there has never been a private funeral for any patriarch, bishop or priest in the Coptic Church. Would you want someone to bury your father without le…
  • ILSM, the fault can also be put on the Bishops. They should have organized the funeral much better. There was no need to have all of those people in the sanctuaries and the chorus. The two Patriarchs were surrounded by people on all sides and I thin…
  • Found it! Its at like minute 30: So a monk and a man are standing on the coffin, a monk jumps on top of another monk, the man jumps on a monk and there is constant yelling and screaming of immovable men. Why wasn't there a private burial?  Why did…
  • [quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=13057.msg153373#msg153373 date=1332273617] I agree:  Pray. I will tell you Sasi--I told you so. There was no Revolution.  The Christians were/are naive. There are no elections. The issues, at hand, are our …
  • [quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=13055.msg153394#msg153394 date=1332286948] Total chaos. Everybody was on their mobile phones.  I don't think anyone had time to video. [/quote] Yeah well most of the services were chaotic...I was in school so…
  • That is the funeral. Is there a video of the burial in the monastery?
  • Can anyone provide a link of the video of the burial?
  • [quote author=qawe link=topic=13040.msg153228#msg153228 date=1332045093] [quote author=Ioannes link=topic=13040.msg153225#msg153225 date=1332041604] I am in tears. May the Lord repose this great mans soul and send us another great shepherd! [/quote]…

  • Suggestion: can someone please change the photo on the homepage? I think there are plenty of great pictures of HH that can replace that one.
  • And here they are praying exactly our Gregorian Agios with the same tune: Evlogimenos:
  • Now look at this... I don't think this is an Orthodox Priest because of the neatness of his beard and his clothes under his tonia but their Fraction is almost identical to ours. I think this is Holy Thursday's.
  • I think people are interpreting it differently. I was talking with some friends today and someone interpreted it as the church is corrupt and we aren't following Jesus, we are just marked as Christians (kind of like what Ghandi said about how he lik…
  • [quote author=Abanoub737 link=topic=12772.msg150048#msg150048 date=1325896069] [quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=12772.msg150015#msg150015 date=1325863102] ...invariably, by the priest invoking the blessing, he is giving permission to vest.  W…

  • Knowing how to play the def is very overrated. Someone told me that you aren't a true deacon if you don't know how to play it.  I know many hymns and I don't know how to play the def and I am completely fine. The children in our church fight during …
  • On all non-sunday days, you still go to Shere ne Maria after First Hoos right?
