Actually the commemoration is not for all the saints but rather specific ones. Each liturgy has its own set commemoration. The only exception for adding a saint AT THE END of the commemoration is if they are a canonized saint and being the patron of…

Just out of curiosity, was there days in Coptic Egypt or did they go by Adam and Watos? For example, was 1 Adam day 3 cycles of the sun and 1 Watos day was 4? Or am I using my imagination too much ;D

Second, if you sing any hymn in your own…
