The Holy Nativity Fast - November 25, 2012 - January 6, 2012

This is one of the main fasts in our church. The church placed a 43 days fast to commemorate the 40 days fast of Moses before receiving the Ten Commandments from God. Then it added the 3 days the Copts fasted before God for the miracle of moving Almokhatam Mountain. In essence the church is preparing us for the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

The Feast of the Cross - March 19th , also September 27 - 29, 2012

In this feast we celebrate the dedication of the Church to the Holy Cross. The Holy Cross has a great meaning to us as Christians. By way of it we received our salvation, when Christ our Lord paid for all our sins by dying on the cross.

The Assumption of Saint Mary is a belief held by Christians that the Virgin Mary at the end of her life, was physically taken up into heaven.

 

Saint Mary’s Fast - August 7 - 21, 2012

The Coptic Church venerates St. Mary as the "Theotokos," i.e., the Mother of God, whom the Divine Grace chose to bear the Word of God in her womb by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35). Since she is considered to be the exemplary member in the church, and the interceding mother on behalf of her spiritual children, she is exalted above heavenly and earthly creatures.

 

The Apostles' Feast - July 12, 2012

This is the feast of martyrdom of the Apostles Saint Peter and Saint Paul. In this feast, the liturgy of blessing the water takes place, in which the priest washed the feet of his people commemorating what the Lord Jesus did for his disciples.

The Apostles' Fast - June 14 - July 11, 2012

Holy Pentecost Feast - June 3, 2012

This feast commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles. It represents the birthday of the Christian Church. As the Apostles received the tongues of fire, they began to speak in different languages. Therefore, God paved the way to his Kingdom for the whole world and we all became one body in Christ.

 

Ascension Feast - April 15, 2012
