  • Ya little dude i got to st george and st shenouda too, lol ya it was a really good idea, we decided since we project the whole mass and stuff on it, why not during the re- enactment project what is going on in the altar during both good friday, and …
  • Hey people, i have another pope Kyrillos story, the ending is kind of funny. Well you all know how close pope Kyrillos was and still is to St mina. Well people would always ask him like, "sayedna i have a problem can you ask st mina to help" and h…
  • Ya i go to st george and st shenouda, we just got a new deacon too, only like a few months after we got a 3rd preist lol, so ya we have a lot of clergy. But ya he does serve the blood, and he is usually the one appointing who serves in the altar an…

  • Well archdeacon the thing is for the first one is that preists where the black vestlike thing (sorry forgot what theyre called) and theyre prayed on jus tlike tonias are, and just as the preist wheres a different garment than a normal mass, deacons …
  • Hey guys this is really weird, because of something i heard a few weeks ago. I remember a few ppl including my sunday school teacher telling us that whenever saint mary appears liek that, its because something just happened, is happening, or will h…
  • also dont forget, the book wasnt actually in conversation with jesus, but was written 300AD (300 years after christ) so that is one of the main reasons we dont beleive it. There are many such gospels such as the gospel of Mary and so forth, but the…
  • Anytime, and btw you have until july for the tryouts, so im sure you can learn some of the hymns by then, i mean i dont know all of them either, so thats what im rellying on. -Pete
  • Thanx alot though for apinav shopi! If anyone has the other 2, that would help too, thanx.
  • lol I feel your pain marmar, btw where did you get that? wasthat really in your textbook? -Pete
  • Actually you dont have to be from 17-30, if you are really good, abouna dawoud told us that they would make an exception for either, girls or boys. But i dont know exactly how good you have to be for them to make an exception. -pete
  • Come on people only 57 people saw it? they need 45,000 people to sign that!!
  • Heres the english audio for some of it, i think its the first week, not too sure. But once you listen to this u can figure out the tune for the rest of it since its all the same tune. http://tasbeha.org/mp3/Divine_Liturgies/St._Mark_Washington_DC,_…
  • There are also alot of other oriental orthodox churches, however since they started out by missionaries of the coptic orthodox church, they all go under coptic orthodox. They include churches in Jeruasalem, Australia, The US, and one of the most re…
  • Well its becuase of the fact that it forshadows the ressurection of our lord and of course that is important. The reason abouna says that even toddlers should fast it, is probably because its such a small fast and that they are able to fast it. hop…
  • Well, jonah was a prophet and what happened to him with the whale was actually a prophecy about how jesus would also be in the tomb for 3 days. So that is another reason why we fast these three days.
  • I have a quick question about that, i always knew the agpeya to be a coptic book, but is there any other books like it in other orthodox churches that are suppose to be prayed the same way? -Pete
  • Im really sorry, i forgot to say WELCOME before. Sorry about that. Welcome Yedediya!
  • Actually coptic servant, sorry if the question was meant for her, but they are not different. The only difference is the language. Both churches are Oriental Orthodox and have all of the same beleifs. -Pete
  • Ya thats exactly what i have always been taught. Thats why u you might hear sometimes in lectures, Christ is called the 2nd adam. Also sayidna anba david once explained it perfectly: "the first adam sinned therefore needed to be saved, then the sec…
  • Ya, like christ4life said, its so that it doesnt fall out, thats why we use the mandeel, because they arent washed, or thrown out, but if it was just cover by ur hand or not cover at all, there is sure some what would fall and be wasted.
  • Heres the whole kiahk psalmody, but its not a .pdf, its a powerpoint file. http://stgeorgejc.org/service/hymns/ECAKiahkPsalmody_3_12_05_PW.ppt if u dont have powerpoint you can use this powerpoint veiwer:(for free) http://www.microsoft.com/downloa…
    in 7&4 Comment by CopticPete December 2005
  • Basically when a person is excommunicated, he banished from ever setting foot into an OE church. However, if he repents for what he did, he can be let back in, and if this repentence is a false one, lets just say that he might end up like arius. S…
  • well out of those my favorite is st george, but as long as saint mary is in the poll, it has to be her of course. :-\ this is hard.
  • Wow thats crazy. :o The really sad thing is that we are christians divided among christians. So if christians do this to eachother, then what would the rest fo the religions do? >:( -Pete
  • Wow i just looked it up, and its really scary. It sounds alot like the holocaust, but what i dont get is how come it isnt as known as the holocaust? It was during the same time period and in the same region, but i dont ever remember learning about…
  • the simplest way to put it is that we werent aexcommunicated, and neither were they, the churches totally split apart. As for the thing about 3 in 1 and 3 COMBINED in 1, i think that you must have either misunderstood, or the priest u were talking …
  • Your right kBibo8, i have no idea what that even was. Can someone tell me whatr happened? -Pete
  • Well actually the coptic church wasnt excommunicated, we broke away from the eastern orthodox church formin the oriental orthodox church including the coptic church, syrian, eritrean, indian, and i think antochian orthodox. And truthfully, i have no…
