I dont believe there are any "hymns" specific to the new year. I do not think there is a particular rites for a new year's liturgy. This means one of two things: 1) The hymn that you heard was not a coptic hymn but a tarnema or song or 2) The hymn w…

Obviously the recording you posted couldnt possibly be a translation of the actual hymn but rather a medayah. Could someone please translate it? This brings me to another question: Do people have the authority to take coptic tunes and implement them…
it would be nice if people could start putting up recordings of their 7 and 4 praises...i would like to see how others chant the praises during this holy month.

I dont believe anyone has tried translating it in the arabic language, however, i do know that in fr. Anastasi and HG bishop youseef have recorded a 7 and 4 prase (located in coptichymns.net) and in it Fr. anastasi has said the refrain in english. P…
Regarding the refrain of the 4 hoos for the 7 & 4 praise, there are two ways of saying this. In Fr. Mettias' recording he chants it one way and many others such as Ibrahim ayad chant it the other. However, i believe that Ibrahim ayad's way is th…
St. Sarkis is the author of this hymn. There were many saints who wrote hymns another good example would be St. Athanasius who wrote omonogenees. So the reason why its there is cause he wrote it and wanted God to have mercy on him.

iqbal,
unfortunately, i grow tired of this subject and i do not think there will be an end to this debate. All i want to say is goodluck trying to convince everyone to start using the old bohairic pronounciation!
P.S. you need to ban aripsalin

lol, Since when do we use the bohairic or sahidic?? Most churches use the greco-bohairic. iqbal, you really have to take what you read in context. Second, i dont want you to take what i said out of context... the reason why i said "i dont care about…
Orphadence, i understand where you are coming from and frankly im just getting sick of arguing this and trying to get my point across. So obviously there is no sense in aruging if neither us are willing to change our views on the subject. But let me…

The point that im trying to make, is that these are NOT coptic hymns.
Coptic characters cannot entirely express perfect Greek pronunciation--they can only make it sound so close.…

That's fine; I do not imagine that your attempt to revise the last 2, 000 years of Coptic language history, or your attempt to deny what is a common feature of many languages and…

The point is, as I implied, that they are not mistakes because they are not intended to be perfect replications of the original Greek in the first place. They have intent…
