the COPTIC Calender is the egyption calender that our fathers have created according to the flood of the nile and other weather condetions. like for example u hear our egys parents say wait for Amshir to get rain. because amshir is the month that the most rain comes in, in egypt of course.

We celebrate christmas on the 29 of kiahk. i cant rember which hebraw month exactly that would be. but it's all in the "doxoleia" which is the book that have ALL our rites dogmaes in the church.

the majer way to calculate easte feast is it would be the week after the passover of the jews. it must not be with their passover or before it.
