Hello,

What's with the madaya7 in between each part in the Saturday Theotokia (recorded by Ibrahim Ayad) during the Great Lent? What are they called? Are they translated?

I believe we do the same thing during kiahk with the "explanations" which are currently being taught on the heritage site. As far as i know, i think they are just medeha on the theotokia. Maybe someone knowledgable can shed some light on the subject...

They are just madaieh, when you actually read them.

Arabic is here, Fasts > The Great Lent > Vespers Praises
