I tried to type the readings yesterday but there was an error and i couldn't type all of that again...anyway I just found that you can download it on here...on the homepage so u could try that if that didn't work..just let me know.
I am not so sure about the first question, but I think when abouna comes to your house to do a "qandil" I think this is the same oil used for the Unction of the sick, and same with any "qandil" that is done during the church (Today is the Last Frida…
It's not about being "comfortable"..if you feel comfortable doing a sin...would you do it. I am not saying taking communion is a sin...but it's something the church doesn't advice a person to do. Because if you go and take communion with that church…
Well I went to a catholic school..and I took communion not knowing the difference yet.
Christ, being a merciful God, won't judge you on things you do out of ignorance. When we are young, we don't know the right from the wrong. And also, in confessi…
I don't know why they are considered fary7y..you can ask an abouna about that...but that's what I have been taught.
And again...you only pray from the pascha book...
I don't know if there is a copy on the internet, I could find you the readings in my copy but I won't be able to get that until Thursday since it's home. If someone can't answer your question before then, I will be happy to give you the exact readin…
There is some readings in each day for Holy week and you can find all of those in the Pascha book, where you can purchase it from your church bookstore or online. It's not just those ones that you said Sandra. Actually in Good Friday, you read the c…
It's not about throwing up...matnias are only done when you are fasting with no food...You can't do matnias when you are not fasting...that's why in the prime prayer in the agpeya there is a section that says let us worship....etc...you are suppose …
For me personally..or from my experience...
I have to agree with what Safaa said...there is no example given...at least most of our parents..they can talk the talk but they never walk the walk (i think that's how it goes)...
Well if you are raised i…
No monks don't do it as a way of saying hi..
If you ever read "bostan el rohban" (can't remember the english name for it now), you will see that they do that if someone is mad at someone and that other person is asking forgivness from the other monk…
Actually it's possible...as you mention in that case it's not a sign of worshipping...and monks still do matanias to each other...it's 100 on each side ( so that's 400) and 50 for praising saint Mary not worshipping.

You keep on saying I don't want to hear what the church says so and so because you know it. Well what else do you expect us to say in a Christian forum...I for one won't say for either situation go lie because you are panicing. ( I am saying you in …
well..Church is intself is not boring, and it's not us...because even if you are close to God...there is that certain thing that will bring you down...the devil that is. What I am about to say is coming from someone who used to LOVE church but now y…
Guys I am not relating those signs to our spirituality at all..I was just wondering why us..why coptics and why in Egypt
I guess she is the only one who could answer that...and I agree heavenly signs are not the sole puropse of our faith..and at the…

Guys it's the way hymns are chanted...the way we have learned it in the past and the way it will keep on going. Guys we always try to change the church teaching and how things are done...if those things weren't done that way...then we wouldn't even …
