Dear josephgabriel,
Yes there is a period of fifty years before which saints are cannonised as jydeacon pointed out. I would also like to learn more about the cannonisation, so I am adding my voice to yours.
God bless you all and pray for us a lot
Dear Schoyen,
You are using very technical terms, and I am not sure I will be someone who can inform you of anything. I just like to say I am very grateful to you for enlightening me with all of this. God bless you and bless your efforts, and hope I…
Yes jydeacon,
Where is orthodox11? Where is Anglian? Where is Iqbal? QT_PA_2T aka vassilios? They haven't been absent for a long time though. I wonder if they have gone off the website, and thought we are not worth their opinions :) I'd love to see …
Exactly Schoyen,
I agree with coptic pharaoh and Severus. It is sad to see non-Egyptians (as I assume you don't have Egyptian roots from the style of your writings) very keen on learning Coptic language, and revive the heritage of the Copts, while t…
Dear jydeacon,
I guess in relation to my technical problem, I can follow Schoyen's idea (and I guess it will work). You didn't tell us how to install the fonts onto either IE or safari (I use both for XP). If anything different from downloading and …
Dear all,
I have visited Remenkimi.com and tried to view the Coptic Bible, but when I clicked on the book of Genesis and the book of Exodus, they came up in English letters, rather than Coptic. Despite having downloaded Coptic fonts before I did wha…
Dear jydeacon and all,
Yes, all what copticpharaoh said is true. I have a family in Egypt as well, in Cairo, and they told me all of these things. Christians don't kill each other for bread; it is the people in general. Very nice what ilovesaintmark…
Dear all,
Although I can't still comment on "Wouniatk" as I haven't heard the HICS version, but I would agree to a good extend with josephgabriel. Probably few things I think should not be taken so strictly, but overall, I like your opinion a lot. J…
Dear all,
I am dying to hear that hymn now to share my views with you. I hope that minagir finds a way of sending us the hymn as soon as possible.
God bless you all and pray for us a lot
Dear minagir,
Are you sure it is not online at all? I would love to listen to it myself (or if you have got a recording why don't you share it with us at least on our e-mails? I am sure you are not someone who likes hogging up hymns to himself, ARE …
Dear gergesezzat,
I think minagir is spot on. That is the common mistake and that is how to avoid it. As far as the repeating tune, the tune does repeat itself as AMoussa01 pointed out. Are these satisfying answers for your question, or any other qu…
Dear ilovesaintmark, and josephgabriel,
Very useful link thanks Joseph, and thanks ilovesaintmark for the idea in the first place.
Dear zakhary,
Yes, why wouldn't they have recorded another one? Or did they, and some sources hogged the tapes up for …
Dear gergesezzat,
Are you after the hymn "Ekhristos analee-epsis"? You will find it in the section of Ascension hymns, and Pentecost, here under "media". I am sure you know where to look.
God bless you and pray for us a lot
Dear Zakhary,
Thank you very much. That has been helpful, although I would like to have heard the whole of it by a priest and congregation replying in Coptic, but as minagir said that is nearly impossible to find nowadays, isn't it?
God bless you al…
So one thing confuses me; week starting Monday after the born blind; should it be in annual rites? Or is that the beginning of the Entry to Jerusalem week? Or do the rites have nothing to do with the beginning and ends of the weeks? I assume they do…
Dear ilovesaintmark,
You haven't offended me at all, and yes I understood what you said about not associating with you; but I was labelled an extremist even before I noticed your posts (which are constructive and in agreement with mine) on tasbeha.o…
Dear jydeacon,
It seems I have upset you to the extent of offending you. Well, as I see it (and I may be wrong) generalisation sometimes is part of conveying one's opinions. Exaggeration sometimes serves in that purpose as well, but of course all sh…
Dear jydeacon and Coptic Pharaoh,
I would like to share an experience with you which I encountered when I was younger. I once taught myself something which is to take a small New Testament Bible with me to the church and follow through the passages …
