TRUE or FALSE - The Odas (Liturgy) is over as soon as we take communion.
FALSE!!! Church is NOT over until Abouna sprinkles the water he prayed on over us, and tells us to "go in peace." Just because we take communion DOESN'T mean we can leave church, go outside, eat our snacks, or talk to our friends. Church is not over yet, and we need to be respectful still because we are still in God's House and take all the blessings. SO DON'T LEAVE CHURCH AFTER COMMUNION!

DAILY DOUBLE BONUS (1000 PTS)!! Congrats, you found one of the bonus questions. Because it is a bonus question, this question is HARD and TRICKY! After the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in whose house did He appear in, and how many disciples were there to witness it?
He appeared in the upper room of St. Mark's house. There were 10 disciples at the time to witness. We start with our 12 disciples. However, Judas betrays Jesus and kills himself. (Now we have 11) However, when Jesus appeared to the disciples after the resurrection, everyone was there except for Thomas - remember the story of doubting Thomas? Therefore, only 10 disciples saw Jesus after the Resurrection when he appeared in the room. (He later appeared again when Thomas didn't believe the other disciples.)
