Things you’ll never see on Coptic Mardi Gras(i.e. the Sunday before Lent)

  • Wet Tonia contests
  • Priests Gone Wild, where they take their emma off in the presence of the Pope (a big no-no if you didn’t know)
  • People throwing leather crosses at flashers.
  • Everybody just standing around drinking eparcha (communion wine) from plastic Solo cups.
  • Women just whipping off their kerchiefs for plastic beads.
  • Men waking up in a tonia not knowing how they got there or became deacons for that matter.
  • Abouna praying liturgy from a parade float
