This book has been well received by the Coptic Churches in the lands of Immigration. The above church together with St. Georges and St. Antony Coptic Orthodox Church of Ottawa, CANADA, present "KATAMEAROS OF THE DAYS", which is the English translation of the Arabic Katameros, the church readings for the Week Days and Feasts. Again this book is awaited for a long time by the Coptic Churches in the Lands of Immigration. The "New King James" version is again utilized in the translation. Specifically this book contains: Y The church readings for all week days throughout the year. Y The readings of the church Feasts. May this book, like its sister book, be a blessing for all those who read it. We remember with prayers and thanksgiving all those who toiled in producing it, in particular, Deacon Dr. Ibrahim Halim Ibrahim. May the LORD recompense them with heavenly rewards. We ask the prayers and blessings of the father of fathers HIS HOLINESS POPE SHENOUDA III by the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Greorges and St. Antony, the Patron saints of our two churches. The grace of OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST be with us all, Fr. Shenouda Doss Boutros Fr. Mikhail Sabry Farid Megally St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church, St. Georges and St. Antony Ottawa Coptic Orthodox Church of Ottawa CANADA CHRISTMASS, 1714 A.M., 1998 A.D. INTRODUCTION "KATAMEROS" is the Greek word (OUKATAMEROC) meaning the book of selections from the Bible to be read during Church services. It is published in five volumes in Coptic and in Arabic by the Coptic Church in Egypt. The five volumes are: # Volume I : Sundays and Feasts. # Volume II : Week Days. # Volume III : Great Lent Season. # Volume IV : Holy week of Pascha. # Volume V : The Fifty Days from Easter to Pentecost. The present book contains the readings of volume II and the church feasts. Unlike the Sunday readings, the readings of very many of the week days are replaced by readings of other week days, For example the readings for 3 Tut are replaced by the readings of 3 Abib. A table on pp. 1 - 35 indicates that. We notice that, on the 12th day of every Coptic month, Archangel Michael is commemorated, on the 21st day of every Coptic month, the Blessed Virgin Mary is commemorated. We also remark that, on the 29th day of every Coptic month (except the months of Tubah and Amshir), the Annunciation, Nativity and the Resurrection of the LORD are commemorated It should also be mentioned that the present book is a strict English translation from its Arabic counterpart. III GENERAL REMARKS ON THE CHURCH READINGS 1) If a major or a minor LORD'S FEAST falls on a Sunday, the lessons of the feast are read instead of the regular lessons of that Sunday. The same applies for: # The Cross Feast (Hosanna Tune) # Nairooz Feast (Festal tune), and # 29th of each Coptic month, if it is the fifth Sunday. (Commemoration of major Lord's feast: Annunciation, Christmas and Easter). 2) The lessons of all other feasts, such as the feasts of St. Mary and of the Apostles, are read on the day they appear in the calendar. If they appear on Sundays, the regular lessons of the Sundays are read. 3) The feasts of the saints (Synaxarium) do not change the reading lessons of the Pentecost season, as these fifty days are the LORD'S FEAST OF HIS RESURRECTION, and the same for the reading lessons of the Great Lent season, because they are days for humility and lowliness. 4) If the Coptic month Kiyahk completes only three Sundays before the Paramon Pre-Christmas, the lessons of the last Sunday of Hatur (which precedes Kiyahk) are read as the first Sunday of Kiyahk. Hence, the readings lessons of the Annunciation of the birth of John the Baptist, the Annunciation of the birth of the LORD JESUS, the visit of the Virgin Mary to Elizabeth and the birth of John the Baptist would all be read consecutively. IV 5) Reading lessons of first of Tut (i.e. the Nairooz), are read if it falls on a Sunday. Then, the Coptic month Tut contains five Sundays, four Sundys other than the Nairooz Sunday. In this case, the readings of the Sunday which fellows Nairooz will be the lessons of the first Sunday of Tut and so on, and the readings of fifth Sunday of Tut will not be read and the same for 29th Tut (festal tune). 6) If Christmas falls on 28 Kiahk, the lessons of Christmas which are those of 29 Kiahk are read. They are read again on the following day. 7) If the Paramon Pre-Christmas falls on 27 Kiahk, the lessons of the Paramon Pre-Christmas (28 Kiahk) are read. 8) If the Paramon Pre-Christmas or the Paramon Pre-Epiphany falls on a Sunday, the lessons of the Paramon are read instead of the lessons of this Sunday. 9) If the Paramon Pre-Christmas or the Paramon Pre-Epiphany falls on a Saturday or on a Sunday, the lessons of the Paramon are read instead of the lessons of these days, but the Paramon fasting will be from Friday, and its readings are not changed (26/27 Kiyahk). 10) 29th of each Coptic month are celebrated (festal tune), because it is a Commemoration of major LORD'S FEAST: Annunciation, Christmas and Easter as we mentioned earlier. Except for the months of Tubah and Amshir which symbolize the Law and the Prophets in the Old Testament, and also they fall before the Annunciation Feast, (29 Baramhat). Yet if 29 Baramhat falls on a V Sunday, its readings replace the readings of this Sunday. This rule does not apply in the period of the Great Lent and Pentecost seasons. 11) If the Sunday which follows Christmas falls on 29 or 30 Kiahk, the lessons of 29 (Christmas reading, see No. 6) or 30 Kiahk (Post- Christmas reading, and not the lessons of the fifth Sunday) are read because they speak about Christmas. 12) If the Feast of Entrance of the LORD JESUS to the Temple (8 Amshir) falls on Jonah's fast or in the Great Lent, the lessons of the feast are read instead of the lessons of that day (festal tune). 13) The lessons of the Annunciation Feast (29 Baramhat) are read no matter which day it is (festal tune) because it is the first of the feasts. However, this rule does not apply if this feast lies between the last Friday of Lent to the second day of the Pentecost season, because this period contains LORD'S events and are not repeatable. 14) The first and second Sundays of the coptic month Bashans do not exist. They are considered contained among the Sundays of the Pentecost season.

Goldfrank This essay originated at the time that ASEC was in its early stages and in response to a requestthat I write something aboutthe church Fathers in medieval Rus'. I already knew finding the patrology concerning just the original Greek and Syriac texts is nothing short of a researcher’s black hole. Given all the complexities in­ volved in the manuscript traditions associated with such superstar names as Basil of Caesarea, Ephrem the Syrian, John Chrysostom, and Macarius of wherever (no kidding), to name a few1 and all of The author would like to thank the staffs of the Hilandar Research Library at The Ohio State University and, of course, the monks of Hilandar Monastery for encouraging the microfilming of the Hilandar Slavic manuscripts by Ohio State. I thank the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection; and Georgetown University’s Woodstock Theological Library as well as its Lauinger Library Reference Room for their kind help. Georgetown University’s Office of the Provost and Center for Eurasian, East European and Russian Studies provided summer research support. Thanks also to Jennifer Spock and Donald Ostrowski for their wise suggestions. 1 An excellent example of this is Plested, Macarian Legacy.

  • SAINT LUKE the EVANGELIST GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH June 12, 2016
    SAINT LUKE THE EVANGELIST GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH june 12, 2016 the sunday of the fathers of the first ec. council On the seventh Sunday of Pascha, we commemorate the holy God-bearing Fathers of the First Ecumenical Council. The Commemoration of the First Ecumenical Council has been celebrated by the Church of Christ from ancient times. The Lord Jesus Christ left the Church a great promise, “I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Mt. 16:18). Although the Church of Christ on earth will pass through difficult struggles with the Enemy of salvation, it will emerge victorious. The holy martyrs bore witness to the truth of the Savior’s words, endur- ing suffering and death for confessing Christ, but the persecutor’s sword is shattered by the Cross of Christ. Persecution of Christians ceased during the fourth century, but heresies arose within the Church itself. One of the most pernicious of these heresies was Arianism. Arius, a priest of Alexandria, was a man of immense pride and ambi- tion. In denying the divine nature of Jesus Christ and His equality with God the Father, Arius falsely taught that the Savior is not consubstantial with the Father, but is only a created being. A local Council, convened with Patriarch Alexander of Alexandria presiding, condemned the false teachings of Arius. However, Arius would not submit to the authority of the Church. He wrote to many bishops, denouncing the decrees of the local Council. He spread his false teaching throughout the East, receiving support from certain Eastern bishops.

The Gateway to the Syriac Saints is a two-volume database: 1) Qadishe and 2) Bibliotheca Hagiographica Syriaca Electronica (BHSE). Hagiography, the lives of the saints, is a multiform genre. It contains elements of myth, history, biblical exegesis, romance, and theology. The production of saints’ lives blossomed in late antiquity alongside the growth of the cult of the saints.

  • 73.2 St Paul the Hermit, 1772; Andrea Bergondi, (Italian, 1722-1789); Marble Weighs 1950 Lbs. (From the Curator Is in Jan. 5, 20
    73.2 St Paul the Hermit, 1772; Andrea Bergondi, (Italian, 1722-1789); marble Weighs 1950 lbs. (from the Curator is In Jan. 5, 2012) Before: After ACE Gallery Label: Andrea Bergondi made this dramatic figure of Saint Paul the Hermit (died c. 341 AD) for the church of San Paolo Primo Eremita in Rome. The sculpture, displayed behind the altar, appeared in a setting decorated to resemble a cave in the Egyptian desert, where the hermit Saint lived in solitude, dedicating his life to prayer and meditation. To grasp how the devout Saint originally looked to church visitors in the 700s, imagine him upright, praying to the heavens. In the 1960's it was tipped downwards by 45 degrees, and set into textured blocks of concrete to stabilize it. The statue will be restored to its original state in the near future. This colossal sculpture was Bergondi's most important commission. Although the artist is little known today, his work was in demand during his lifetime. He was among the very last sculptors in Rome to work in the Baroque style in an age when most of their contemporaries had turned to Neoclassicism. !(Bergondi continued to employ a Baroque visual language despite the dawn of Neoclassicism.) From the Panels of the 2012 Exhibition: St. Paul the Hermit: Restoration and Rediscovery As recent research has confirmed, the MIA's statue of a Hermit Saint—acquired in its altered position in 1973, and once attributed to Francesco Mochi—was indeed carved over a century later than originally believed. It was the aim of this project to restore the statue to its original position and to restitute it to its rightful place in the history of Italian art by clearing up its attribution, original setting, and provenance.

  • Martelaren in Het Romeinse Rijk, Ii
    MARTELAREN IN HET ROMEINSE RIJK, II Wie zal ons scheiden van de liefde van Christus? Want om uwentwil worden wij den gansen dag gedood; wij zijn geacht als schapen ter slachting. Maar in dit alles zijn wij meer dan overwinnaars door Hem, Die ons heeft lief gehad. Romeinen 8:35-37. VANAF DE TIJD VAN DE TIENDE VERVOLGING 283 TOT 213 Overgenomen uit: Historie der martelaren die, om de getuigenis der evangelische waarheid hun bloed gestort hebben, van Christus onze Zaligmaker af tot het jaar 1655 Door ADRIAAN VAN HAAMSTEDE Predikant te ANTWERPEN En aangevuld met gegevens van: Eusebius, Mollinus, Van Braght, en anderen STICHTING DE GIHONBRON MIDDELBURG Tweede versie 2012 Voorwoord Deze beschrijving van een aantal martelaren die door de Romeinse overheid gedood werden in de eerste drie eeuwen na Christus’ Hemelvaart, is in de eerste plaats ontleend aan het Martelaarsboek van Adriaan van Haamstede. Van Haamstede heeft een aanzienlijk aantal namen genoemd en meestal een korte beschrijving gegeven. Elke naam en de beschrijving die er bij hoort is vergeleken met oude bronnen en nieuwere gegevens. Deze worden in de literatuurlijst vermeldt. Uit deze bronnen zijn veel waardevolle bijzonderheden van de martelaren overgenomen. De toelichtingen die regelmatig als aanvulling op Van Haamstede’s werk voorkomen zijn meestal ontleend aan het Heiligenboek en het Romeins Martelaarsboek. Uit gegevens die op Internet gepubliceerd zijn, zijn vooral de data van personen die in deze bundel voortkomen gecontroleerd met de data bij Van Haamstede, en zo nodig gecorrigeerd. Niemand stote zich aan de beschrijving van wonderen die bij sommige gebeurtenissen plaatsvonden. Betrouwenswaardige schrijvers uit die tijd geven verslagen weer van wonderen die door personen - meest bisschoppen - werden verricht en wonderen die in de Voorzienigheid plaatsvonden.

  • SYNAXARION, COPTO-ARABIC, List of Saints Used in the Coptic Church
    (CE:2171b-2190a) SYNAXARION, COPTO-ARABIC, list of saints used in the Coptic church. [This entry consists of two articles, Editions of the Synaxarion and The List of Saints.] Editions of the Synaxarion This book, which has become a liturgical book, is very important for the history of the Coptic church. It appears in two forms: the recension from Lower Egypt, which is the quasi-official book of the Coptic church from Alexandria to Aswan, and the recension from Upper Egypt. Egypt has long preserved this separation into two Egypts, Upper and Lower, and this division was translated into daily life through different usages, and in particular through different religious books. This book is the result of various endeavors, of which the Synaxarion itself speaks, for it mentions different usages here or there. It poses several questions that we cannot answer with any certainty: Who compiled the Synaxarion, and who was the first to take the initiative? Who made the final revision, and where was it done? It seems evident that the intention was to compile this book for the Coptic church in imitation of the Greek list of saints, and that the author or authors drew their inspiration from that work, for several notices are obviously taken from the Synaxarion called that of Constantinople. The reader may have recourse to several editions or translations, each of which has its advantages and its disadvantages. Let us take them in chronological order. The oldest translation (German) is that of the great German Arabist F. Wüstenfeld, who produced the edition with a German translation of part of al-Maqrizi's Khitat, concerning the Coptic church, under the title Macrizi's Geschichte der Copten (Göttingen, 1845).
