if you have an app such as ibooks or whatever that can store pdfs, you could always just download the free agpeya pdfs that are available online. Though I have an iphone with the icoptic app, I find the agpeya version is strange personally, so I jus…

aww maan, lol, I was hoping to do Tasbehat Asheyat Kiahk this saturday :) I guess I'm gonna have to wait until the next week. As for the psalmody of evening vespers in Kiahk, do we say all 9 of the Theotokias etc or are they divided, some in each …

Thanks for posting this Biboboy. yes it's true that often, many Orthodox churches in general are ethnocentric. From my experience, this is both good and bad. It's good in that people from another country can come to their new country and still be a…

Remenkimi, I "like" your post :)

ya Mina is definitely correct..its anaghnostos meaning reader...which makes sense since 'reading' is 'anAghnosis' (stress on the capitalized A). I think its just the arabic way of saying the coptic/greek word.
-
it works! Thank you :)

for St. Mary or for Christ. If you mean for Christ with the crown its supposed to be jewels hanging down from the crown...thats what the emperors used to wear.

I believe this icon is from St. Anthony's (Greek Orthodox in Arizona) and it says O Megas Arhierevs meaning the Great Highpriest and Christ here is dressed as a (byzantine) bishop with elements from the royal court. Again the red robe (galabaya type…

[quote author=sodr2 link=topic=12545.msg147169#msg147169 date=1320710702] Anyone here visit this museum? I went yesterday, while visiting Coptic Cairo, and let me tell you the things I saw were unreal (i encourage everyone to go visit if you get the…
-
I did :) see the first and 2nd posts. Unless you want other icons too? One of my favourite St. Mary icons. It's called Eleousa which means tenderness/merciful because of the affection between theSon and His Mother. An early icon from St. Cather…

I'm not going to respond to you anymore irishpilgrim because your style is just too weird for me to keep up with your twists and turns and run-on sentences. And you should watch what you say about Coptic bishops...if you know Coptic bishops at all, …

look I'm not saying that we shouldn't listen to our clergy, in fact my post said that even if we disagreed with a position our clergy has (which may not be part of our biblica, holy tradition etc) that just out of obedience it would be better to obe…

irishpilgrim, all I have to say is that thank God you are not my bishop! And I mean that with as much love as possible. We don't live in a Barbie and Ken fantasy land you know. Who really wants to be divorced? Do you think that women leave their hus…

[quote author=Zoxsasi link=topic=12513.msg147102#msg147102 date=1320426611] OK.. look this thread is getting out of hand. I just asked a simple question, and I got the answer. I feel that as a Church, we cannot go off and disagree with Bishops who m…

Thanks for the informative reply Superman! Ok that explains more of the Coptic perspective on icons, which is fairly similar to the Byzantine perspective. Actually I do have 4 icons...the first icon of Christ is a classical rendition of the popular…

Thanks Cephas, that was helpful!
-
neeever mind, I did some research and luckily found this: "His inner white robe (for purity) symbolizes His Divine nature while the red outer tunic (symbolizing blood) reveals His humanity." "In this icon, the Virgin is on the right of Christ. She…

ahh, these responses are so enlightening about our liturgy! Thanks to everyone here who responded..excuse the pun but I wanted to *offer up* :) a possibility in the deacon referring to the Body and Blood of Christ at this point...besides what others…
-
umm I was being sarcastic, however some people actually do think that wine is banned...
-
thanks for the replies. That clears up my first question but its still interesting to see how when we do not say the full version of the hymn (its actually a deacon response so not technically a hymn) the order of the liturgy changes slightly.

[quote author=Christs' servant link=topic=12521.msg146926#msg146926 date=1320195906] I thought the Holy Synod can not make a decision without the Pope's approval. Did the Pope change his mind? [/quote] really? If so isnt that sort of like infalla…

A friend of mine told me that one bishop (perhaps southern diocese?? I cant remember) had asked his parishoners not to drink the same wine as used in the liturgy in that specific diocese. Not all churches use Maneschewits...it just happens to be the…

the fact that this podcast/blog is called CONCERNED COPTS is actually pretty sad. Your CONCERN is not what you should be so CONCERNED about. When I first read 'concerned copts' the first thing that came to my mind was that you guys were rallying for…
-
This is a very simplistic answer and its not a full answer at that, but think about it: if Christ is our only Mediator with God the Father, this actually does point to His Divinity. Why? The fact that ONLY Christ can mediate between us and God means…

thats exactly what I meant Unworthy, people have so many activities: sports, arts, school, tutoring, and church activities which while all are great can sometimes overwhelm our lives and not leave any time at all for prayer, but as the saying goes, …

Exactly. I'm finding with my teens from our high school youth group that they're struggling with standing in prayer for short periods of time..when we were their age, our uncles and tante's would pray for 10 minutes at times at the end of sunday sch…
