So here is a problem with such classifications...these terms, from doing a simple search since i am not a pro, are applied to only classical ganres of music. And there are a lot of tempo markings, and there are markings for different languages (more…
Being a person who does most of his service in liturgical texts, I can say for sure that it is NOT OK to have different texts and translations out there just for the heck of it. It's detrimental and not beneficial at all for the current time and the…
What you're saying is a great idea. But here some things to consider:- This is the conclusion that every church come to and they always begin working on getting youth in "a group setting" but it always ends up being just another way to bring them ba…
So here is my problem with this: it;s not about the code or application or the API aspect...it's about the text. ALL apps currently have different texts and translation. As long as the texts continue to be different and the Dioceses and churches, at…
2 ways:1-you say ke nen ke a ee like the rest of the parts2-one that ends those 2 estikhons fast.
It's just different school. I was taught both, i have prayed in both, but i always prefer #1
The mention of the 144000 is only done by St. John in Revelations. So it make sense that whoever added that part, also added the person who told it about the 144000.
Why would it be?! It's not gambling like everyone else says. You are simply putting money into a business that you think is gonna success (or fail). You are taking a risk every time you make a choice to "trade" and depending on the market and the re…
Why would you feel guilty?!
I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. We were always taught that, if you do invest in the stock market, don't expect to make money and only do so if you are atleast covered financially for the next 6 months. It's not a quic…
It's a good hour drive atleast from Alexandria to the monastery, as far as i remember. Also, I am not sure there isn't any :accommodation" in the sense of having a hotel or anything similar.
Your best chance is reaching out to someone in Alexandria…
Well one thing to consider, the Synaxarium saints stories don't always come from the Bible. The actual story might of been accepted from the "Acts of Paul", but that doesn't need to be accepted as Canon for the saint to be canonized.
St. Athanasius' paschal letter of 367 ad had a big effect on setting the current canon:http://www.bible-researcher.com/athanasius.html
It's clear that the NT is the same as we have now, but the OT may be different. Atleast from what i see in the le…
In NJ, we are part of the archdiocese in which case our bishop is the Pope himself. So we mostly only mention his name. Adding the Patriarch of Antioch and Eritrea (not a pope btw) is mentioned in the book, but not too many say it. On certain feasts…
Some of the info I found as i skimmed through Abouna Athanasius Elmakary books:1-The teno-osht parts were added later while the Pi-o-oinee parts are as ancient as the 7th century. 2-The original rite included the Teno-osht parts as the verses of cym…

The thing with 'adam' tunes is that they don't change much. That's why the Adam tune for tamgee…
You can't construct the hazzat syllable to syllable from going from Arabic to English. With Coptic to english, it's just a bit easier, but never fully correct. But guess what, you don't have to in this case. The 2 responses are to be said in the fes…
I haven't seen anyone do it on the feast of the cross Vespers, but i do know some who do it on Hosanna Sunday Vespers AND Matins. the main reason for that is: not many come early enough.
Most of the saints hymns were created to be said for veneration of saints, or for glorification service (that is actually so out of order now, and Albair's book might give an idea about this), or after the senixar, or after the difnar. The new menti…
