Watch at the end of the liturgy when Abouna sprays the water, there will be several bald men who will rub it all over their heads, yet none with hair will.

The reason its traditional to eat kolkassia aka olass (or named malanga in market) on the feast of the Theopany is it symbolic of St. John the Baptist or more accurately his head. It is roughly round, the size of a head, and hairy; so one could see the parrallel between it and a human head. I did not make this up, it was told to me by a wise old sage (maybe the person wasn’t a sage and maybe not so wise but the person was definitely old). This sort of ties in to a traditional saying/superstition for the feast “Whoever does not eat kolkassia on the feast of the Theophany will wake up without a head” (Okay it looses something in the translation; it rhymes in Arabic)

Happy Theophany (or is it Merry Theophany)

Your Grace,
I find myself very attracted to a girl and occasionally I
have lustful thoughts about her. The problem is she is the daughter of my
father of confession and i am very afraid to tell him for what he would do
to me. What should i do?

Your Grace,
My Teta says its wrong to make left turns while going to
church for the liturgy. This has added an hour and a half traveling time
to church. I won’t believe my Teta is a liar or ignorant. But I need a
solution because I can’t afford the gas required to go to church anymore.

Sayedna,
My friend says his abouna can beat up my abouna. I say no way, my
abouna is so strong he can baptise babies with with one hand. Is there a
way to settle this argument. I know it is absurd to have them fight but
is it possible to have a a wieghtlifting contest or something similar.

How to have fun with friends that travel by air alot:
Make a realistic sheet metal cut out of a hand gun (if you don’t have access to sheet metal or don’t know how to cut it, you can make a cardboard cutout and wrap it with a few layers of heavy duty aluminum foil.) Place it flat in your friends’ carry-on bag. Then take the friend to the airport and accompany him/her to the gate. When s/he sends their bag through the x-ray machine at the gate, zany hijinks will ensue.  Be sure to conviently disappear before any federal agents show-up or your friend realize its you.
DISCLAIMER: Not really a smart thing to do.

To Dream the Impossible
The ant walked about

Minding his own buisness.

When came a human lout,

Causing the ant much distress

For upon the ant, his foot fast descending

So to God the ant prayed

Then and there his life would have been ending

Had not his prayer been answered

And the ant walked off happy

Scraping human off his foot.

“Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth to men of goodwill.”
Luke 2:14

(What, can’t I send a nice normal message once and a while)

(Okay, you’re right I can’t, some might say I miss quoted above but I didn’t. This is one of the little idiosyncrisies of various English translations of the the Bible where they use an improper translation of Luke 2:14. The above is based on the original Greek and backed up by the Latin version.)

P.S. Merry Christmas
