No we pray the funeral prayer/service for anyone who died after the mass of palm Sunday so if anyone died during passion week, it will already be prayed for. Then you can hold the funeral after Easter. Hope this answers your question. Khristos Anesty:)
Catholics and Orthodox Christians have distinct funeral practices shaped by their theological beliefs and traditions. Catholics typically emphasize the importance of the Mass, including the Eucharist, during funeral services, and they often hold wakes prior to the funeral. In contrast, Orthodox funerals focus on a liturgical service that includes a series of prayers and hymns, with a strong emphasis on the resurrection and the eternal life of the deceased. Additionally, Orthodox practices often involve a three-day mourning period and specific rituals related to burial and memorial services.
Saint Samuel became a saint sometime during antiquity. His feast day occurs on December 5. He is considered a Coptic Orthodox saint.
Which pope? ill explain,during the early church when the Orthodox (eastern and oriental) and Catholic church were still one church.Each leader of the 5 ancient sees had a title Constonople,Antioch,Jeruselum all beared the title patariach alone.However the Roman church used bishop of rome and the Alexandrian (coptic) used patarich and pope in conjuction,however this title was not used to assist authority over all the churches anyhow near 1054 AD the bishop of rome began to use the title pope as he belived that he has authority over the eastern and western churches,the patriach of Alexandria still uses the title pope and patraich. The leader of the Catholic church is the succesor of st.peter and the leader of the Coptic orthodox church is the succeser of st.mark. and since the orthodox church (eastern and oriental) do not believe st.peter had authority over the other apostles they do not belive he has authority over the other apsotolic churches which are the orthodox churches
No, you cannot get married during the period when Orthodox Lent begins and Orthodox Easter, as Great Lent is a period of mourning and fasting. You can get married before Lent or after Easter, but not during Lent.
The high priest during the passion was Caiaphas found in Matthew 26:57.
Bibles were copied by a variety of monastic organizations that were especially set up for the purpose, but there was no one group that did this. There was not even one Church that did it. The Book of Kells was a product of a Celtic Orthodox Church that was only loosely affiliated with the Roman Church, and there were other Churches, notably the Oriental Orthodox and Coptic Orthodox Churches, which did copied their own Bibles. After the Great Schism of 1054, the Eastern Orthodox Church maintained bible production in Greek and the Roman Catholic Church did it in Latin.
During the times of ancient Rome, there were several different Church organizations, but the largest was the Church of Rome. Others included the Celtic Church, the Coptic Orthodox Church, the Oriental Orthodox Church, and so on. The Roman Church divided in the Great Schism of 1054 into the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. In addition, there were many heretical church groups. Notable of these were the Catharists, against whom the Roman Catholics launched the Albigensian Crusade. But the list of groups challenging the main Church was long.
False! Aksum stayed Coptic Christian!
There were a lot of Muslims in Spain during the Middle Ages, and in the Balkans during the late Middle Ages. There were a lot of Jews through many parts of Europe during much of the Middle Ages. In the start of the Middle Ages, there were still some pagans in the area that had been the Roman Empire, and pagans remained in northern and eastern Europe. There were other Christian groups. The Coptic Orthodox Church and the Oriental Orthodox Church were two that remain today. There were also other Churches, like the Celtic Church, and a variety of heretical organization, such as the Cathars, that were more ephemeral.
Early names for Upper and Lower Egypt were Ta-Sheme'awand Ta-Mehew. Another name for ancient Egypt was Kemet ("black land"). The Greeks gave Egypt its widely-used name (Agyptos) and the modern Arabic name Misr is from the Semitic Mitzrayim). During its period as a Christian nation (Roman and Byzantine era), it was called Copt, and the language is referred to as Coptic. Christianity was bought to Egypt by St. Mark around 42 AD. After the conquest of Egypt by the Sunni Arabs in 639 AD , Coptic was not allowed as a language. (It is, however, still in use by the Coptic Orthodox church as a liturgical language. The church grew from the time of St. Mark and was split from the other Orthodox churches by the Council of Chalcedon in 451 AD.)
Orthodox is an adjective, because it describes a noun. Your entrance to the freeway during rush-hour traffic was somewhat less than orthodox.
Protestant churches had barely begun during the Middle Ages. The most powerful Church was the orthodox Christian Church. At the Great Schism, it separated into the Roman Catholic Church, which was arguably the larger, and the Eastern Orthodox Church. From a time before the fall of the Roman Empire, there were always also other, smaller church organizations, such as the Coptic Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Churches.
