[quote author=Alexrus77 link=topic=13080.msg154073#msg154073 date=1333392924] Sorry, sorry, sorry! In my Coptic Synaxarium there are exact days of the Crucifixion of the Lord and Resurrection and Palm Sunday. Why do you say we don´t know the dates? …

Technically speaking, Baramhat 29th is the commemoration of the Feast of the Annunciation AND the Feast of the Resurrection. Why are we allowed to skip the rites of the Resurrection but not the rites of the Feast of the Annunciation? If you're allow…

[quote author=Biboboy link=topic=13080.msg153872#msg153872 date=1332981008] "No one knows the exact date of Christ's Resurrection" What do you mean? It was certainly after the Jewish Passover, which had to be on the 14th day of the month of Nissan.…

[quote author=Biboboy link=topic=13080.msg153845#msg153845 date=1332953866] Two comments: First, if the Jews were to follow the Gregorian calendar (and they don't), the Passover will always be before the Gregorian Easter. We can't say that we should…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=13080.msg153767#msg153767 date=1332875323] The calendar itself is not of value, the importance which the Fathers especially felt was that all Christians should keep Easter at the same time. [/quote] But Fathers…

Apaqti in English is Epoch dating. And it was not exclusively Pope Demetrius. This is what we are taught in Sunday School. The Alexandrian Calandar goes back to the Late Egyptian/Pre-Roman empire era. The calculation of Easter was corrected by the…

As far as I can tell, there has never been a private funeral for any patriarch, bishop or priest in the Coptic Church. Would you want someone to bury your father without letting you attend?
-
Does it matter who wrote it? The words are not only in the spirit of HH Pope Shenouda but they are also inspired by the Holy Spirit. It is really irrelevant if the are personal words authored by Pope Shenouda. It is no different than the Bible. None…
-
No. It is from the funeral rite of the Patriarch. It's in Coptic. The Coptic version is on Facebook. I'll try to find the link.

Depending on where you live in Alabama, there are also priests from other states that have outreach services in Alabama. If you want more information, let us know.

This is a long but I think it is perfect. I am interested to see what others think of this. St Shenouda the Archimandrite wrote a sermon on the behavior of the good person vs. the evil person. His argument is very basic. No one mourns an evil perso…

Good point Ioannes, I personally find more important things on YouTube, like this completely Coptic Liturgy of St Gregory. So beautiful and so Coptic. Yeah. :D

Geo, here's the whole message: See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text ************** System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'tasbeha.dll'…

Geo, I am using Windows 7 Ultimate. I got a Microsoft .NET Framework error: "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this erro and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the applica…

Geo, I tried the application last week. It gave me an error message when I opened even though I put the files in the same directory. I also don't understand what the program is supposed to do. Is it a way to send a request to the admins? Or is it …

In case you're interested, the text of the 14 Ethiopian liturgies can be found here Ironically, it was translated into Arabic/English by a Coptic priest (Fr Marcos Daoud in 1939), not an Ethiopian one. In the introduction, there is a little more cl…

There are 3 definitions for tolerate: 1. to allow the existence, presence, practice, or act of without prohibition or hindrance; permit. 2. to endure without repugnance; put up with. 3. to experience, undergo, or sustain, as pain or hardship. Toler…

Just to be technical, the "Assyrian Church of the East" (along with their counterparts in the Assyrian Catholic Church) have all claimed they are not Nestorian. Some have openly excommunicated Nestorius. They have sought reconciliation with the Copt…

dustoftheearth, It's very easy for us to describe fasting and the beauty of Lent through words. I don't think you'll get the full picture by words alone. Why don't you come into a Coptic Orthodox Church and see for yourself? Why don't you speak to …
-
There is a difference between tolerating others and tolerating beliefs and tolerating sin. Everyone, because they are the image of God, requires respect and tolerance even if they are different from you. And if one respects the person in front of hi…

I spoke too soon. There is a feminine and masculine form. In Greek: ἀξία ἀξία ἀξία (...) ἥ Χριστιανή is the feminine nominative singular. ἄξιοι ἄξιοι ἄξιοι (...) και (...) αι Χριστιαναί is the feminine nominative plural (use this if there is more…
-
There is no such word as "Ouekhristianas" or "ouekrhistiany". It is not correct. "ekhristianas" is not a Coptic or Greek word. The correct Greek phrase is "Axia, axia, axia (...) o christianos" and it means "You (female) are worthy, you are worthy, …

The real question is why does it matter if he was or wasn't black? Jesus is perfectly human and perfectly God. Any minor physical details distracts us from the beauty of His love, His humility, His power, and His salvation. In this lent period, let …

Thank you ILSM for the confirmation. Everything you said reinforces my conclusion that they have no identity of their own. There's obviously something so pathological when you assume another identity and liberally change fundamental teachings and li…

In case you had any doubts, look at this video from the same Fr. Yohanna Fawzy from the other link. They are "consecrating" an altar in Naga Razeek, Assuit. Notice all the priests, deacons and nuns consecrating the altar and not the bishop while the…

It's irrelevant how you think Paphnoti is pronounced in Sahidic or how Paphnoti should be pronounced in Sahidic. I'm telling you it is not babnoudi or babnouda. Every univeristy in the world teaches a standard Sahidic pronunciation and it is Pap nou…
-
Ok. I'm done arguing too. And I see why Fr Peter choose not to argue either. I don't think he should respond again since he already discussed what the Church fathers have said.

Ophadece, The Coptic Encyclopedia does not make the distinction between Old Bohairic and Greco Bohairic in regards to the phoneme ayin or aleph. There hasn't been, as far as I know, any study that discusses any differences in ayin or aleph in OB vs…

Maybe you should give us reference of liturgical prayers that you speak of. None of the liturgical prayers I am aware of even suggest such thing. Your statement, "The human nature that the Lord took was immortal in the sense that it was not under t…

If Christ felt pain and suffering, why would His mother be exempt from labor pain? She herself acknowledges her need for a savior. If she gave birth without pain, then one must conclude she was already saved from the fallen nature before Christ was …
