  • [quote author=copticuser20 link=topic=11208.msg135671#msg135671 date=1302307412] But "Bob" died on Lazarus Saturday, if there was a funeral, it would have to be during Holy Week.  But how can you do a funeral prayer for one who died before the Gener…
  • [quote author=copticuser20 link=topic=11208.msg135659#msg135659 date=1302299002] So if an imaginary person named Bob died on Lazarus Saturday. Because of embalming and everything, the body is not ready until the night of Palm Sunday. Would he still …
  • btw.....this is done ALSO on bright Saturday.....no saba3 tarayeq thoo.
  • "I guess the essence is that the congregation understands that they are two separate prayers, both necessary but not in relation with one another. And so we prayed in the Mournful tune, but we'll see what happens this year after this new update." hm…
  • [quote author=imikhail link=topic=11208.msg135639#msg135639 date=1302286070] I believe the solution was to order the churches not to start the funeral till communion is over and preserve the original rite. Regarding the change being from the synod,…
  • Well it kind of hurts some but also limit many others. the reason for that is there used to be some church who cut of communion and began the prayer.....that is not appropriate at all. and that's what brought the HH to take a stand and the Synod acr…
  • [quote author=jydeacon link=topic=11062.msg135517#msg135517 date=1302222440] I disagree. Abouna Yassa Rizk and Abouna Bola Malek are awesome. [/quote] in english, abouna Antonious is the best.....other than that....there are a LOT of options :-D
  • [quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=11198.msg135493#msg135493 date=1302211401] It's okay [sarcasm] I've seen several screens mounted onto the columns over the altar. The problem is copycat.  One church does it and another copies and tries to tak…
  • [quote author=copticuser20 link=topic=11208.msg135480#msg135480 date=1302206682] really? My priests usually wear just their purple bornoses (Good Friday Vestments) [/quote] oh....color wise. well yeah this service is again, not hazaini.......not in …
  • "So what do the priests wear? Do they wear the purple bornoses or their regular black vestments?" it's a funeral.....no liturgical vestments for priests....bournoses are really weird...i don't think there is a specfic rite for them. How would you …
  • [quote author=Kiro7 link=topic=11208.msg135472#msg135472 date=1302204348] If the rite is annual... how can the sad tune of pauline be said? [/quote] nothing in any sad tunes. etheve ti-anastasis is not said instead, the normal annual into of the pau…
  • "Are there any recordings reflecting this change, specifically Cantor Ibrahim Ayad? Thanks." there is nothing worth recording for.....ya3ny the changes are not as much hymnal changes (mainly) but rather rite changes with its effect on hymns. you hav…
  • [quote author=CopticChurchForever link=topic=11082.msg135425#msg135425 date=1302150656] Ibrahim Ayad rendition of Lamentations.... [/quote] doesn't exist.... :)
  • you guys donno how amusing is reading this post.
  • [quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=11198.msg135342#msg135342 date=1302046511] Mina, Rich in spirit?  or rich in finances? [/quote] you tell me....i am sure you know more....
  • [quote author=copticuser20 link=topic=11198.msg135336#msg135336 date=1302044451] Haha good one  :D :D. Yeah that is 2500 families after 4 churches have been opened that are within 20 minutes from our church (Edison, Manville, Holmdel and Howell). Ou…
  • Wow....strong words. 1st, for Fr Peter....the reason we need  sound systems now because back han, there was either small church where no mics were needed or there was huge cathedrals that were structured to echo sound and to also have a "mymer" (i …
  • [quote author=Marenhos Epchois link=topic=11198.msg135239#msg135239 date=1301979804] It almost seems like a requirement now that every church when it is being built, they get the Iconostasis put in and then the projectors and white screens right in …
  • in general, i want to say that necessities for different people in different societies do differ greatly. "Although I know some donations are already made, why not give more." Well that's always the question and none can answer this with a good an…
  • maboota, did you watch our enactment in the link i posted below?
  • Mina, I disagree. all of the other events I mentioned are entirely separate, a special occasion for each. There is only 1 time we commemorate the betrayal of Judas. We even have an actual act or processing or moving around the church. Yet are we en…
  • [quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=11187.msg135080#msg135080 date=1301806319] I don't see the logic. How does the date of its introduction into the rite have anything to do with what it is or what it is called? In all books (with the exception of HCO…
  • I thought would be a good example to read: The Spiritual Meaning of Resurrection Enactment By, H.G. Bishop Youssef Bishop, Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Southern United States
  • [quote author=imikhail link=topic=11187.msg135030#msg135030 date=1301749559] The old books (40 years) say that during the enactment, two kids holding candles stand opposite to each other at the door of the altar symbolizing the two angles at the tom…
  • The Enactment is of Greek origin....not coptic tradition. The enactment itself is not controversial at all. What to do is written in books and need not to be changed. What many do something, including my church, is that it's an enactment. It's like …

  • One thing that is specific is that when the Pope passes the Spirit by blowing into their mouth saying "Accept the Holy Spirit" (maybe a different declaration). When abouna blows the Spirit in your face in general, it's like refreshment of the Spirit…
