    lol Start spreading the word then ;)

    Everyone on this website goes to school, or work to say the least and so when a person asks, "how was your weekend" or "what did u get up too"??? Then take that opportunity to tell them about the Coptic New Year and all the activities that were going on in your church.

    On a different note, I’ve noticed that many people write "omg" on this website which translates too "oh my God." That is using Gods name in vain which is a sin, now I know many people do it unintentionally but it’s a bad habit that needs to be fixed as soon as possible. There are many other slogans that can be said instead of "omg."

    For example:

    -Oh my goodness
    -WOW
    -No way
    -Far out
    -Get out of here
    -You're kidding
    - :o
    -Ludicrous
    -I cannot believe it
    -Impossible
    -Ridiculous
    -etc. etc. etc.

    So for the people that like to say “Oh my God” please remember that it’s a sin against God, your Heavenly Father, and my Heavenly Father. Therefore please try to break this habit and use any other slogans that don’t relate to Gods name, unless its for prayer of course. :)

    In His Name

    the egyptian balla7 (the red ones) resemble the martyrs
    the red : the blood of the martyrs
    the white inside: the pure souls and hearts of the martyrs who gave their lives for christ.
    the core: the hardness, and unwavering faith they had in christ

    but about the gwava i dont know lol

    2 reasons I like The Coptic New Year:
    1) It's a new beginning
    2) You get to eat ballah

    and btw...what do you all think...about Ramadan!

    ya...it's from the farisy language, meaning new day or new year, and we just took it from them, meaning new year.
