  • Abdelwahed, Y. (2016); 'Two Festivals of the God Serapis in Greek Papyri' Rosetta 18: 1 – 15
    Abdelwahed, Y. (2016); ‘Two Festivals of the God Serapis in Greek Papyri’ Rosetta 18: 1 – 15 http://www.rosetta.bham.ac.uk/issue18/Abdelwahed.pdf TWO FESTIVALS OF THE GOD SERAPIS IN GREEK PAPYRI1 Dr. Youssri Abdelwahed Minia University Abstract The cult of the god Serapis and the sanctuaries dedicated to his worship in Egypt and elsewhere has extensively been studied by scholars.2 Similarly, the kline associated with Serapis has been the subject of extensive scholarly discussion.3 However, the festivals associated with the god have not yet been properly covered so far. This paper deals with two festivals of the god Serapis, the Serapia, attested in Greek papyri uncovered from Egypt in the Graeco-Roman period. The first festival started on 26 Khoiak, while the second began on 30 Pharmuthi. The paper attempts to reconstruct the two celebrations in the light of Greek papyrological documents. It argues that the Serapia of Khoiak is a continuation of the Pharaonic and Ptolemaic festival of Osiris, whereas in Pharmuthi another aspect of the god Serapis, closer to the Greek Zeus, appears to have been celebrated. Tacitus has stated that the god Serapis was introduced from Sinope under Ptolemy I Soter, who gave him a great influence in Alexandria, where he became a Hellenised deity and served as an instrument of official religious policy.4 Yet the god Serapis was initially Osiris-Apis, a funerary deity mainly honoured at Memphis. He was particularly associated with Osiris, the Egyptian god of the underworld and fertility. In his Greek aspect, however, Serapis was given the attributes and traits of Zeus, 1 For citation of papyri and inscriptions, we adhere to the Checklist of Editions of Greek, Latin, Demotic and Coptic Papyri, Ostraca and Tablets, which is available at: http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/papyrus/texts/clist.html.

  • The Soucheia of the Arsinoite Nome in Graeco-Roman Egypt Youssri E
    Minia Journal of Tourism and Hospitality Research Vol. 1, Issue 2, December, 2016 The Soucheia of the Arsinoite Nome in Graeco-Roman Egypt Youssri E. H. Abdelwahed Tourist Guidance Department, Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, Minia University Abstract Scholars have highlighted religious diversity in the Arsinoite nome (modern Fayum) in the Graeco-Roman period through consideration of Egyptian and Graeco-Roman deities worshiped in the region.1 The most popular cult in the Fayum district was that of the crocodile god Sobek or Souchos.2 Some economic, administrative, and religious aspects of the cult of Souchos and his local incarnations in the Fayum were points of research interest.3 Yet the festival of the god Souchos referred to in Greek papyri as Soucheia has not been covered so far.4 This paper attempts to reconstruct the Soucheia in the light of Greek papyrological evidence. The festival is only associated with the villages of Tebtynis and Soknopaiou Nesos, and appears as a joyful celebration with a banquet. The Soucheia reflects the complexity of religious life and practices in the Arsinoite nome, a highly Hellenised part of Egypt in Graeco-Roman times, being celebrated by Egyptian villagers, Greeks, and Persians of the epigone. Keywords: Sobek/Souchos, Soucheia, the Arsinoite, Graeco-Roman Egypt In Roman times, the region of Egypt which now forms the Fayum was called in official documents the Arsinoite nome with Arsinoe as its metropolis. It was under Ptolemy Philadelphos after his marriage to his sister Arsinoe, therefore between 270 BC the date of his marriage and 246 BC when he died, that the names of the Arsinoite nome and Arsinoe replaced the previous names of the Krokodilopolite nome and Krokodilopolis.5 The name of Krokodilopolis clearly indicates that the divine animal especially worshiped in the prefecture and its metropolis 1 Rübsam 1974.

  • Roman Martyrology by Month
    www.boston-catholic-journal.com Roman Martyrology by Month 1916 Edition January February March April May June July August September October November December The following is the complete text of the Roman Martyrology circa 1900 A.D. Many more Saints and Martyrs have since been entered into this calendar commemorating the heroic faith, the holy deeds, the exemplary lives, and in many cases the glorious deaths of these Milites Christi, or Soldiers of Christ, who gave 1 every fiber of their being to God for His glory, for the sanctification of His Holy Catholic Church, for the conversion of sinners both at home and in partibus infidelium 1, for the salvation of souls, and for the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, even as He had last commanded His holy Apostles: “Euntes ergo docete omnes gentes: baptizantes eos in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Docentes eos servare omnia quæcumque mandavi vobis.” “Going therefore, teach all nations: baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.” (St. Matthew 28.19-20) While the Martyrology presented is complete, it nevertheless does not present us with great detail concerning the lives of those whose names are forever indited within it, still less the complete circumstances surrounding and leading up to their martyrdom. For greater detail of their lives, the sources now available on the Internet are extensive and we encourage you to explore them.2 As it stands, the Martyrology is eminently suited to a brief daily reflection that will inspire us to greater fervor, even to imitate these conspicuously holy men and women in whatever measure our own state in life affords us through the grace and providence of Almighty God.

Vicar General of the Order of Preachers November 12, 1954 Copyright, (c) 1955, by the NEWMAN PRESS Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 55-8660 Printed in the United States of America [This electronic edition: 1998] TO OUR BELOVED FATHERS , BROTHERS , AND SISTERS OF THE ORDER OF FRIARS PREACHERS , WE FATHER TERENCE STEPHEN MCDERMOTT MASTER OF SACRED THEOLOGY AND THE HUMBLE VICAR GENERAL AND SERVANT OF THE ENTIRE ORDER OF FRIARS PREACHERS GREETINGS AND BLESSINGS : With the rapid growth of the liturgical movement especially in the last quarter of a century, there has been an increasing volume of requests from Dominican Sisters and Lay Tertiaries for an English translation of our Breviary and Martyrology. It is with pleasure, therefore, that I am able to announce the fulfillment of these desires. The Breviary, translated by Father Aquinas Byrnes, O.P., is now in the process of publication at Rome, while the translation of the Dominican Martyrology has just completed. The Martyrology is one of the six official books of the Church's liturgy, its use in the choral recitation of the Divine Office is obligatory. Because of the salutary effects derived from the reading of this sacred volume, various Pontiffs have urged its use by those who recite the Office privately.
