  • Pope Demitrius was a leader in fixing the Pascha and the Church of Alexandria was the one to determine when it is to be celebrated. This is the Tradition and this is what we have received.
  • Abanshoyce along with the verses of the Lent should come right after the annual introduction. The same is true for any occasion. For example, during the Lord's feasts, we say the introduction (Danwosht) then we say the verses for the occasion.
  • Post 7 & 9 should clear up the confusion

  • Abstinence is a necessity from midnight even if communion is at 6 pm meaning an abstinence of 16 hours. This is the general rule. Talk with your FOC for guidance.

  • After the fall man lost the grace of being with God and was condemned to eternal death. That is why God became man to restore him back to eternal life.
  • Jesus was not given a new soul when He came on earth Human nature is soul, spirit and body. The divinity was united to the human nature and thus the Son had a human soul and is still united with it.

  • But whose fault is it that some chose to abandon the faith, is it Rome by adopting local cultures? Or is the Coptic Church for not caring of her children? Or is it the people who go after false faith for whatever gain they my attain? I believe adop…
  • It is surprising to me that some are attacking the Coptic Catholics for using our Coptic rite .. we do the same in other Churches. We adopt the local culture and mix it with the Coptic rite. Nothing wrong with that. The sad part is some Egyptians a…
  • The cymbals are not played during the weekdays. What, then, gives the jurisdiction to chant the verses of the CYMBALS (which are chanted in a joyful tune annually)? Is not silence more fitting for the day than a joyful hymn? This is a misconcept…
  • The hymn of kyrieleyson is the original hymn after the Thanksgiving prayer and was used to be chanted all year around. After the introduction of the verses of the cymbals, the chanters quickly say kyrielayson to have time to chant the verses of the…
  • What I mean is, it bothers me that we have a Coptic Orthodox Church, an Ethiopian Orthodox, a Syrian Orthodox, an Armenian Orthodox and a British Orthodox Church in the UK. Why? Because each Church you mentioned has its own rites and liturgical pr…

  • The name babnouda is Saidic and the pronunciation is babnouda in both OB and Saidic
