The following items are from the Religious Pages Menu:
Here you will find the links in the
Religious Pages menu
to the following Religious Items(scripts):
Note:
These components were written at the request of others and/or I helped to re-write these components.
The following were adapted from my previous experience with a CMS
and well, phpNUKE and PostNuke
The last 2 were a very good start for me in the BMJ time. (BJM = Before Mambo Joomla)
Because I did NOT write (or have) an installation script for these components, I can't make those available for download.
At present they are the following components:
The Noble Quran ( Koran )
See the credits in the 'footer' of this component.
Note:
The Qur'an ( al-qur'an; its literal meaning is "the recitation" and is often called "Al Qur'an Al Karim": "The Noble Qur'an" or "The Glorious Qur'an," also transliterated as Quran, Koran, and less commonly Alcoran) is the holy book of Islam. Muslims believe that the Qur'an is the literal word of God and the culmination of God's revelation to mankind, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad over a period of 23 years by the Angel Jibreel (Gabriel).
The King James Version of the Holy Bible.
This also has been rewritten for Mambo, or now Joomla.
Note:
It is believed that the King James Bible, originally known as the Authorized Version, first published in the year 1611, is God's word in the English language without admixture of error.
Synaxarium
The Synaxarium, based on the Coptic Calendar, as used by the Coptic Orthodox Churches.
Completely searchable.
This is based on th Egyptian Calendar.
Also known as the Coptic Calendar
Every day it will show a story of the Saints and/or martyres.
A special php script written by me has been used to tranlate the 'modern calendar'
to the equivalent of the 'Coptic calendar'.
Note:
SYNAXARIUM (Gr. f7v~a~iipfoP, from o-vvh~yeiv, to bring together), the name given in the Greek Church to a compilation corresponding very closely to the martyrology (q.v.) of the Roman Church. There are two kinds of synaxariasimple synaxaria, which are merely lists of the saints arranged in the order of their anniversaries, e.g. the calendar of Morcelli; and historical synaxaria, which give biographical notices besides, e.g. the menology of Basil and the synaxarium of Sirmond. The notices given in the historical synaxaria are summaries of those in the great menologies, or collections of lives of saints, for the twelve months of the year. The oldest historical synaxaria apparently go back to the tenth century. The heterodox Eastern churches also have their synaxaria.
THE COPTIC LANGUAGE.
The Coptic language is a direct descendant of the ancient Egyptian language which was once written in Egyptian hieroglyphic, hieratic, and demotic scripts. The Coptic alphabet is a slightly modified form of the Greek alphabet, with some letters (which vary from dialect to dialect) deriving from demotic. As a living language of daily conversation, Coptic flourished from ca. 200 to 1100. The last record of its being spoken was during the 17th century. Coptic survives today as the liturgical language of the Coptic Orthodox Church. Egyptian Arabic is the spoken and national language of Egypt today.
