"Of the silver wings which (are) spread: of the girdle of jewels. Of the stole of golden pomegranites. Michael the Archangel."

I was going to post the correct translation in the other forum but it was locked.

PS the golden pomegranites is a biblical reference.

Lord Jesus Christ, who ascended to heaven and sent us the Paraclete, have mercy on us.

Agape,

Atthowi, can you continue translating the rest of the hymn (i.e. the Paralex) ASAP? Your contribution will certainly be better than the translation we made from the Arabic, which we use for the contemplation on the hymn on copticheritage.org - the one that Fortunatus is currently working on in the forums.

Thanks!
