  • Ethiopian Calendar from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Ethiopian calendar From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Ethiopian calendar (Amharic: የኢትዮጵያ ዘመን አቆጣጠር?; yä'Ityoṗṗya zämän aḳoṭaṭär) is the principal calendar used in Ethiopia and also serves as the liturgical year for Christians in Eritrea and Ethiopia belonging to the Orthodox Tewahedo Churches, Eastern Catholic Churches and Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria. It is a solar calendar which in turn derives from the Egyptian Calendar, but like the Julian Calendar, it adds a leap day every four years without exception, and begins the year on August 29th or August 30th in the Julian Calendar. A gap of 7–8 years between the Ethiopian and Gregorian Calendars results from an alternate calculation in determining the date of the Annunciation. Like the Coptic calendar, the Ethiopic calendar has 12 months of 30 days plus 5 or 6 epagomenal days, which comprise a thirteenth month. The Ethiopian months begin on the same days as those of the Coptic calendar, but their names are in Ge'ez. The 6th epagomenal day is added every 4 years, without exception, on August 29 of the Julian calendar, 6 months before the corresponding Julian leap day. Thus the first day of the Ethiopian year, 1 Mäskäräm, for years between 1900 and 2099 (inclusive), is usually September 11 (Gregorian). It, however, falls on September 12 in years before the Gregorian leap year. In the Gregorian Calendar Year 2015; the Ethiopian Calendar Year 2008 began on the 12th September (rather than the 11th of September) on account of this additional epagomenal day occurring every 4 years. Contents 1 New Year's Day 2 Eras 2.1 Era of Martyrs 2.2 Anno Mundi according to Panodoros 2.3 Anno Mundi according to Anianos 3 Leap year cycle 4 Months 5 References 6 Sources 7 External links New Year's Day Enkutatash is the word for the Ethiopian New Year in Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia, while it is called Ri'se Awde Amet ("Head Anniversary") in Ge'ez, the term preferred by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.

    CHRISTIAN INSCRIPTIONS FROM EGYPT AND NUBIA 6 (2018) Alain Delattre Université Libre de Bruxelles, Jitse Dijkstra University of Ottawa, and Jacques van der Vliet Leiden University/Radboud University Nijmegen Abstract. — Sixth installment of an annual overview of published inscriptions in Greek and Coptic from Christian Egypt and Nubia. The sixth issue of our epigraphical bulletin is devoted to inscriptions published in 2018, to which are added one left-over item from 2015 (70) and some items from 2017 (3, 29, 56, 57–68, 69) that came too late to our attention to be included in the previous bulletin. 1. Egypt and Nubia. Christian epigraphy. J. van der Vliet, “Epigra- phy,” in K.J. Torjesen and G. Gabra (eds.), Claremont Coptic Encyclopedia (2018), available online at http://ccdl.libraries.claremont.edu/cdm/singleitem/ collection/cce/id/2161. Short survey of the discipline, with useful biblio- graphical references that provide a starting point for further research. 2. Egypt and Nubia. Christian epigraphy. J. van der Vliet, The Chris- tian Epigraphy of Egypt and Nubia (London 2018) presents 31 studies con- tributed by a major specialist in the field over almost two decades (1998– 2015). The volume collects a large number of studies published in a wide variety of places; four studies have been translated from French, and several photos of monuments have been replaced by new ones (e.g. Figs. 19.1 and 2), although they are not printed on glossy paper, which means that they are not always as sharp as one would like them to be. Eleven studies are co-authored, showing the collaborative spirit of the author.

  • Parousia – Hegomen Fr Athanasius Iskander
    THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST Students of early church history often disagree, but there is one thing they all agree upon: the early church was consumed by earnest expectation of the imminent "Parousia" (the Lord's second coming). Some even say that this expectation was the driving force behind the fervor that the early church exhibited in it's practices. Maranatha! exclaims St. Paul at the end of his first letter to the Corinthians (1Co 16:22), and even though the letter was addressed to a Greek community, yet he includes this Aramaic word - no doubt part of the earliest Liturgy - that meant: Come Lord ! PAROUSIA The day of the Parousia - we are told by our Lord - is known only to God the Father (Mat 24:36). It comes suddenly, like lightning (Mat 24:27) and unexpectedly, like the day Noah entered into the Ark and the flood came suddenly and took the whole old world by surprise. People were eating and drinking and even getting married when the flood came. (Mat24:38,39). Hence the Lord's advice to the church: "Watch therefore, for ye know not what hour your Lord Parousia doth come." (Mat 24:42). Our Coptic Church, so faithful to the traditions of the old church, keeps this tradition alive in it's practices. The same two chapters mentioned earlier (Luke 12 and Mat 25) are appointed to be read as part of the canonical hours of the midnight prayer. Another tradition also kept by our church, is the vigil on Great Saturday (Saturday before Easter) when the whole church keeps vigil all night, praising the Lord and meditating on the Apocalypse (the Book of Revelations), which - more than any other book in the Bible - speaks to us about the Lord's Parousia (second coming).

  • Severus of Antioch in the Coptic Liturgical Books
    Journal of Coptic Studies 6 (2004) 139–148 SEVERUS OF ANTIOCH IN THE COPTIC LITURGICAL BOOKS BY YOUHANNA NESSIM YOUSSEF The image of Severus of Antioch1 is depicted in liturgical books2 of the Coptic Church as either an author of Liturgical texts3 or as a commemo- rated Saint. A) As Author In his monumental book, Graf4 has mentioned that Severus of Antioch is the author of the prayer of reconciliation in the Coptic liturgy of St Gregory. A rethinking of the question shows clearly that Severus is a prolific author in the Coptic Liturgy. a) The Euchologion of the White Monastery One of the earliest witnesses in the Coptic Liturgical books is the Euchologion of the White Monastery, written in the Xth century,5 men- tioned several prayers attributed to Severus of Antioch.6 1) Epiclesis and intercession of the Anaphora of Severus of An- tioch. 2) Prayer of fraction of the Patriarch Severus.7 3) Prayer of fraction of the Patriarch (May be Severus).8 1 For Severus of Antioch in Coptic Literature cf. Lucchesi, “Notice,” 291-293, espe- cially 292-293 (bibliography). 2 For these books cf. Malak, “Les Livres Liturgiques,” 1-35; Zanetti, “Bohairic Liturgical Manuscripts,” 65-94. 3 For the other works of Severus in the Coptic Literature cf Porcher, “Sévère d'Anti- oche,” 119-124; Crum, “Sévère d'Antioche,” 92-104. 4 Graf, Geschichte, 420:118/4. 5 Lanne, Le Grand Euchologe, 273 (9). 6 Lanne, op.cit., fol. 101-102, 105-108, p. 312(48)-315 (51), 316 (52)-323 (59).

  • Coptic-Syriac Relations Beyond Dogmatic Rhetoric
    Hugoye: Journal of Syriac Studies, Vol. 11.1, 3–28 © 2011 by Beth Mardutho: The Syriac Institute and Gorgias Press PAPERS COPTIC-SYRIAC RELATIONS BEYOND DOGMATIC RHETORIC LOIS FARAG LUTHER SEMINARY, ST. PAUL, MN ABSTRACT This article highlights Coptic-Syriac relations in ways beyond the theological position of both churches. It focuses on the relationship between Copts and Syrians depicted in the Coptic Synaxarium. It includes a discussion of Syrian saints, Syrians who became patriarchs of the Coptic Church, and their role in the liturgical and devotional changes that occurred. After the Arab conquest, both churches came to share a common language—Arabic. This led to an exchange of theological terms. This shared theological language and the Syrian presence in the Coptic Synaxarium strengthened the relations between the two churches in ways beyond ecclesial politics. The Coptic and Syriac Orthodox churches have a long common history. They are two of the oldest churches of Christianity, with large literatures in Greek, Syriac, Coptic, and later in Arabic. They shared the Roman hegemony—not only the entanglements of Roman law, but also imperial persecutions. They benefited from the Greek paideia. They were intellectually enriched by having their patriarchal residences and presence in cities that were hubs of the 3 4 Lois Farag cultural and commercial centers of the Roman Empire, i.e. the cities of Alexandria and Antioch. Although modern scholars have portrayed the theological history of both churches as a struggle of Antiochene theology against Alexandrian and vice versa, the reality is that each theological group read and thoroughly understood each other’s literature.
