  • Remnkemi, Thanks for your response. I agree with everything you've mentioned. I think the reason I ask this question is while although i love coptic i find it harder to teach and get the kids engaged with the language. When i teach them things in E…
  • Let me pose this question for you all, to stir the pot a bit if you will. I'm sure anyone who has seen me on the forums for a long time can say that I truly love the Coptic language. However, given this argument, in the lands of immigration, at wha…
  • [quote author=aem581 link=topic=13245.msg155138#msg155138 date=1335901145] SWMSANMG, If possible, can you send me the one form Mo3alem Zaher? [email protected] Everyone else, I didn't mean the hymn itself, I meant the tune. Of course the hymn is…

  • [quote author=qawe link=topic=13143.msg154376#msg154376 date=1333776170] Sorry to add further confusion, but: What are we supposed to say in the "amen alleluia" at the end of the general funeral. Palm Sunday, normal, or passion week? Before this cha…
  • Posted on the Facebook page for the Service of the Deacons yesterday. "Regarding the tune for the hymns of the general funeral service, the official ruling from the Holy Synod is that it should be prayed as detailed in the Service of the Deacons (i…
  • [quote author=ophadece link=topic=13105.msg154009#msg154009 date=1333292937] IS that right? I really doubt that.. feast of annunciation is a Lordly feast while Lazarus Saturday isn't.. it isn't about what we celebrate yearly and what not... I'd like…
  • http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/view/1762 Netavenkot is how its supposed to be said.
  • Well said Cephas...Main reason I have left all forums...constant bickering and going in circles over and over again. Its like playing a broken record over and over again but with a horrible track playing.
  • Aidan is correct. Many of the psalms are referring to Christ(prophecies), not necessarily David himself.
  • How do you know dinosaurs did not exist while Adam was alive? The earth has layers that suggest it is millions of years old, is that necessarily the case? Adam was created a man, not a child, yet his flesh and bones would seem to have gone through a…
  • [quote author=+ Keliny + link=topic=11631.msg140042#msg140042 date=1308691352] Why is it that many churches chant the him "Pi-ehmot ghar" regularly before the Pauline, when a bishop isnt there? Even though it is a papal hymn. [/quote] Its not a pap…
  • As long as you run it by your spiritual guide or FOC and he gives you permission then there is no issue.
  • Would anyone happen to have a liturgy by him aside from these videos??
  • I personally do not but maybe others will.
  • That sounds like Abouna Ibrahim Aziz Ghindi....
  • Christ rebuked the pharisees for their hypocrisy, does that mean He hates them?
  • The creed was a proclamation of faith against heresies. Heresies still exist so the point of the creed still holds fast and should be said in its entirety.
  • Ophadece, "The Obedient son receives all the blessings" "Ibn el ta3a ye 7il a3le el baraka" Actually Imikhail, on good Thursday it is suggested that the priest pray the part "He came to the slaughter.." from the Gregorian Liturgy instead of He ros…
  • Saw this as an update on the Service of the Deacons page on facebook(how reliable it is I do not know, I assume it is)---Regarding the tune and hymns for the general funeral prayer after the Hosanna/Palm Sunday service, it is to be prayed as detaile…
  • No they should not bow.
  • Is it a sin that I'm kind of relieved that I get to sleep in for 15 extra minutes in the morning? Yes lol. :p
  • TITL, to respond to your previous question. I doubt any one has served in a liturgy(except ones be recorded for a purpose) have done EVERY hymn possible for that liturgy. I assume also that the liturgy of St Basil that was recorded by HICS includes …
  • The psalms in the agpeya have both joyful and sorrowful themes. And prophecies related to the resurrection and incarnation etc.  During pascha we are focussed completely on the passion of Christ. So it's not fitting to pray from the agpeya that has …
  • I don't know what brought Mighalo into this? I'm speaking in general. Obviously one hymn doesn't make or break a liturgy. I'm speaking if you have long or short liturgies. You are taking what I've said out of context. It was an example. I'm saying t…
  • I read your comments. I don't agree with them. So I posted what I did.
  • So is it the burden of the priest then to make liturgies longer when someone may have extenuating circumstances? What if many people in his congregation have two jobs just to feed their family? They don't always have time to stay for a long liturgy …
  • Imikhail, People who like to skip hymns usually have no appreciation for the hymns period or do not have the spiritual depth to withstand a 25 minutes hymn. This can be treated with education about the Coptic music and how the hymns were developed…
  • You aren't going to find psalms recorded. You may find a few but not all of them. You just need to "rekeb" the tune to the psalm. If you really know the tune then it shouldn't be an issue.
