It is my understanding that in the original rite, the priest would remain outside of the sanctuary during the chanting of the Psalm, censing and praying special prayers pertinent to the Psalm. He would not enter the sanctuary and circle the altar un…
I personally don't think the decision is attacking OB only at this point, but also anyone who is trying to change GB to try to adhere to more natural rules such as changing the b's to p's and the etchy to ch, and sarex to sarx, and thameyyof to tham…
@RamezM: I have nothing but respect for you, and have learned much from you over the years. But I must say, I'm not sure I entirely understand your reluctance to share and make widely available such treasures of our church.
In any case, I was able …
Mina, You are asking for something way bigger than it may seem. This is a huge field that only a few (who must possess the ability to read in a few key languages) can really benefit from, enter into, or contribute to.
At any rate, here is a docume…
@RamezM
Thank you so much for the pdf. It will be very useful to keep as a reference. Is there such a summary available for the subsequent years up to the present time? If not, could someone kindly get on it! :)
Thanks.
Thank you all for sharing your knowledge.
@ophadece, while I personally do not know much about OB, I appreciate your zeal for it.
Also, does anyone happen to have a recording (any recording, really, but especially the Muharraq recording)? I didn't …
@minatasgeel
Naturally this is the question. I don't think anyone suggested otherwise. I still maintain that we require public documentation of this prior to Holy Week.
I mentioned this in a previous thread: it would be very helpful to have written verification of the reversion of the General Funeral back to its original rite, particularly for the clergy (as @AMoussa01 mentioned). If anyone has close communication …
@minatasgeel
I agree wholeheartedly. The General Funeral is a completely separate service. The Liturgy of the Fest of the Entrance into Jerusalem should be concluded with the dismissal of the Angel of the Sacrifice and the concluding canon, and the …
@drewhalim @peterasaad
Thank you. This was indeed a needed restoration of the original rite. If anyone has access to any of the bishops on the Rites Committee of the Holy Synod, I'd encourage you to ask him to publish this decision on the official w…
@meensasamyIn any case, thank you very much for sharing this recording. Personally, I will be filing this away as "needs more research" for the time being.
Wow, I've never heard of this joyful Ni-ethnos.
@meensasamy, thank you for sharing this recording. Do you have any idea from whose teaching Fr. Abraam El-Abanouby received this hymn?

I thought aradantondi in the long tune is reserved for Kiahk and the fasting days!

The Vespers Praise is prayed immediately before the Vespers Raising of Incense. Specifically, the order should be as follows (using an annual Saturday night as an example):

Thank you for compiling these. I was wondering if you could provide a reference?
