I’d advise you to get into contact with your father of confession. What you are experiencing is spiritual warfare. I’d suggest you drown out these thoughts with constant prayer and take the intercession and examples from the numerous saints…
So clergy are free to change their names when they move up the ranks?
Also, do they choose or is it chosen from the saint of the day or some other source?
But Azer changed his name to Abouna Mina (future Saint Cyril VI) and Nazir Gayed changed his name to Abouna Antonios (future Bishop, then Pope Shenouda)
Thank you all for providing evidence and attempting to explain the situation. One question is: why is Abune Antonios, an Ecclesiastical Figure, in a prison run by a Secular State?

Thank you for being very patient with me. I have just 2 more questions.
For the Agpeya metanoias (in personal (home) do we need to fast? If so do we do the Daniel fast or the full fast?
What is Ephoise Nai Nan?
Thank you very very much.
Thank you all for your help.
I have just 1 more question. When praying the Agpeya, do we have to bow at certain points or do something special at certain places?
Thank you all.
I am genuinely thrown back by the excellence of this app. When I have nothing to do, I just go in and do a quiz. The developers have done a great job.
On another note; there is an inaccurate answer. The app claims that the Council of Chalcedon can s…
