  • [quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=9305.msg115181#msg115181 date=1275857054] The books you refer to, are they modern or ancient? If they are modern then it does not seem to me that they solve the problem you have described. What are the source…

  • [quote author=PopeKyrillos link=topic=9305.msg115150#msg115150 date=1275758974] Although you should say both the long intro and long verses for the feast together, that is not the case at all in many churches. I have heard many who just skip and go …
  • Let's keep liturgical texts out of this post. most texts about jews in our church normally go back to the Bible because in this aspect we would be just proposing the words of God (the Bible) and not our own judgments....even though they might be tru…
  • [quote author=PopeKyrillos link=topic=9305.msg115145#msg115145 date=1275758104] I would have to agree with Amoini being said on Saturday night. Otherwise, on vespers like the Eve of Palm Sunday, there would be a clear contradiction between saying te…
