@drewhalim, Entrance ebowro is not festive. It just happens to be sung only in longer liturgies.. Oujai
-
Dear Faithful Servant 1, I was being sarcastic.. I agree with you 1000% Oujai
-
@childoforthodoxy Your story reveals an interesting dynamic. Deacons were doing their own thing even in the presence of Pope Kirollos. Whether they knew his reasoning or not is another matter. Anyway, today priests do run the show, is that right? St…

All fasts aren't equal. The church divided fasts into first and second degrees to teach us some lessons.. there are certain criteria and Lent isn't matched by any, except to some extent Jonah's fast Oujai

What are the special French or Parisian cuisines? I'm dying to eat horse meat I've been told about it a lot.. which is the best place? How much money in general for the weekend?
-
Ah that makes sense.. it's the former Paris.. the Louvre may require another visit then.. thanks @Zoxsasi..
-
Thanks @Zoxsasi.. we'll try to go to church on Sunday, and it seems 48 hours isn't enough for this exhaustive list.. you didn't give me any advice about the Louvre though! What's your opinion?
-
These are wonderful pieces of advice Zoxsasi, thanks a lot.. so what about climbing only first floor of the Eiffel?I think you do really know my taste.. not a shopping fan, but certainly walking down those beautiful areas would interest me so much..…
-
Dear Zoxsasi,Thanks a lot man; sorry for my late reply. I am very busy these days. Anyway, thanks also for the advice for the Church. Please also tell me for 48 hours, which sights are a priority? Eiffel tower? Do we climb it, or not worth it? Read …

Thanks Mina, that's really enlightening.Dear Faithfull Servant 1, I don't think we shouldn't say the Aspasmos. It is a Greek loan word meaning "Peace" (as I believe, at least roughly), so it follows that we pray the litany of peace during Lent, so w…

I heard the same comment before so I'll brush up my French.. we used to learn it in school!
-
There are so many special things in the Coptic church not available anywhere else dear mfb219 but it's up to you to figure out. I'm talking about the liturgy and vespers and midnight chants, but if all those problems stop you from going, at least re…

Dear qawe,Coptic church is not about socialization.. this is just a recent move, or in a better word development mainly in the land of diaspora but it shouldn't be this way.. not that I have any issues, but what I mean is that there shouldn't be any…
-
That's exactly what I mean drewhalim.. they should be said every time the pope is there, or a bishop for that matter. But tradition went alongwith the impracticality of saying them at any other time because of time pressures.. oh yes time pressures …

Thanks tenoosht.. does it really matter anymore? It doesn't happen during the pope's prayers in the Coptic cathedral, the venue for the see of st. Mark!oujai
-
Rip long yesbateer and dobhe hena, and I have already heard in nativity liturgy before they scrapped joyful Pauline.. well done..
-
Coptic calendar needing modifications? That's just the result of invention and innovation willy nilly in some churches.. happy new year..Oujai
-
Any idea how do I get the forum back to mobile view after I changed it to full site? Or isn't there anyway back now?!Oujai
-
now I know what it is. I cannot use the full site and write messags and edit them on chrome or opera.. like you said Mina.. Oujai
-
Which is not ideal, is it? Oujai
-
That's right Mina but did you try to post a comment? Oujai
-
Dear meensasamy, I'm not sure if you're talking to me.. you could also pm me your email address or email me straightaway and I'll send the files when I'm less busy.. I'm just very busy these days.. Oujai
-
Ok, it just seems that not all browsers are able to work smoothly with the new look forum.. certainly not Google chrome for mobile or opera for mobileOujai
-
dear mayroun123, please send me straight on my email address or pm me your email address.. oujai
-
Dear all, I'm not that well learned. I'll definitely ask again and try to understand more Oujai
-
Dear minasoliman, No answer to your question, but definitely food for thought. However, angels won't bow down to us as bearers of the Holy Spirit, would they? Also Christ doesn't dwell in our hearts as st. Paul says, or does He? I hope you got my po…
-
Thank you all for your messages. I may be confused in usage of the term hypostasis, sorry but I use it to refer to the Trinitarian person. Please note I am not as learned as some of you here. I asked priests of who dwells within us, and interesting…
-
Dear Amoussa01 and all, I'm so sorry for my mistake. I'll edit my previous post, it's just tricky to use the mobile and not make such spelling mistakes.. Yes I meant hypostasis. You're right in saying that it's possible, but neither does the Spirit …
-
Dear Amoussa01, Hypostasis doesn't only refer to physical bodily form, but to the Person. We don't contain, or indeed aren't capable of containing the Holy Spirit. During communion we partake as you said. What does that mean? Partake means part-tak…
-
Dear minasoliman and Amoussa01, Sorry for using the term, probably mistakenly, as I didn't think so deeply as both of you. BUT (in capital letters) I hope neither of you is suggesting that the Holy Spirit in His hypostatic form dwells in us. THAT IS…
