Button the top button, not the bottom one, too. 

But, agreed.  Good show, young man.

Only on Black Muslims, and well, no one else.

[minasoliman]

Whenever he speaks, he raises the congregants to heaven.  A true pastor, a true scholar, a true holy man of God, a true giant of history in the Coptic Church, a true blessing!  An undefiled saint and a practical and loving priest!  His Very Reverend, the hegumen Fr. Tadros Yacoub Malaty, and I was blessed and honored to have served with him today in Liturgy, which today we celebrated the Feast of the Annunciation, in Spotswood, NJ.  God bless him and keep him for us for many more years!

[dzheremi]

Wow! I love Fr. Tadros! What a blessing (and a great photo)!

[mabsoota]

wow, u both look so young!
i thought father tadros was about 100, and that u were at least 30.

but father tadros looks around 80 and you about 24.
 

for those who don't spend their spare time in coptic orthodox bookshops
   father tadros has written commentaries on all of the new testament books, and i think most of the old testament too. we need more translations into english of his arabic works!

[Cyrillic]

You look very happy, mina. Nice photo.

Thank you Mabsoota for the compliment.  Rest assured I'm older than 24 :-P

Thank you all for your compliments.  And yes, my happiness stems from the grace of joy I receive from Abouna's presence.

[Dominika]

So nice and joyful picture! I should learn something more about this abouna, is there anything interesting written by him and translated into English and available in the Internet?

There are some of his works available here for free.

Edit: Also some recordings I found. Not sure if they're all in English though.

[Tommelomsky]

Well..this is me. The picture is a little blurry and I was (and still is) full of emotions.

[mike]

Button the top button, not the bottom one, too.  

You solved one of the most ancient mysteries of the Universe for me. TY

Tommelomsky, you look like a really friendly person.

I don't think it is not that simple. IIRC if the coat has three buttons it's the middle one that should be buttoned.

Also, there could be some differences between Eastern European, Western European, Continental, British and American customs on this.

[mabsoota]

if u r cold u can button all of them.
 

[minasoliman]

Congrats! 

[Alpo]

Nope. If it gets cold, wear proper underwear and a three-piece-suit made of some warm fabric.

[Arachne]

That's one mighty catch of the day!

[mike]

I'm the one in the red tie

[Schultz]

Your father (I think that's your father, to your right laughing in profile) looks exactly like this Baptist fellow who keeps giving me tracts and pamphlets on the bus every time he sees me pull out my prayerbook and/or Bible on my morning commute.  It just hit me how uncanny the resemblance is.

[Dominika]

Very nice picture!



Some my paschal pictures... With my friends that today have visited me for the Paschal breakfast (wel, practically for all the day). I have much more pictures from it, really great time

[That person]

I went to an Easter vigil Saturday night, and the back of my head was featured on the official Facebook page of the Orthodox Church in America!

So that's what it takes to make me excited these days. Also, that's a piece of one of St. Paul's bones near the bottom-left.

Yes, that's my father.

I'm starting to feel worried since I think I look very similarly to him.

^nice people
this is my table after-feast mode:

[Punch]

Some pictures of me during the Holy Week services, including the Baptism of my new Godson.

Speaking of Baptism, Father Sasa and I make sure that we thoroughly drown the old man.

Excellent pictures! Christ is risen!

and one of Palm Sunday:

[Punch]

Excellent photos, Father!  For some reason, I always thought that you were Western Rite.  I must have been mistaken.

[Fr.Aidan]

You are correct. I indeed was Western Rite. Actually, I am still blessed to do Western Rite, but there is no need at the local parish, which is a standard Russian Orthodox parish. So sometimes when I travel, I serve Western Rite, which I have done at St. Nicholas ROCOR Monastery in N. Fort Myers, Florida, and at the Russian Western Rite Vicariate Conference in August 2012 and also at the Conference in October 2011.

Pictures of such a Western Rite Liturgy, are on the Oremus blog at http://sarisburium.blogspot.com, under the post entitled "WR Conference 2012 a Great Success."
