Synaxis

The Coptic Liturgical Library.

Synaxis includes the services of the Coptic Orthodox Church thoughtfully structured, faithfully sourced, and made for presenting to your congregation.

STEP INTO THE SPLENDOUR OF COPTIC MANUSCRIPTS
Synaxis draws upon the manuscript tradition for its ornaments and illustrations. Fonts, spacing, and appearance have been carefully thought of to present an app that is not simply functional but beautiful.

SERVICES LAID OUT WITH INTENT
Great care went into how every service is structured. Sections nest within sections to paint a coherent picture of the rite and to make navigation effortless.

BUILT WITH LITURGICAL DIVERSITY IN MIND
Synaxis understands the Coptic rite, where many prayers and hymns are variable. Pickers and toggles let you switch between variants and customise each section to suit your parish.

DISCOVER TRADITIONAL WORSHIP
Synaxis does not limit itself to popular practices. The Coptic liturgical tradition is rich and diverse, with manuscripts preserving many lesser-known hymns, prayers and practices. These are presented as options.

A THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED BIBLE
Not only in Coptic and Greek, but in multiple Arabic and English translations that can be read side by side.

FEASTS AND FASTS, AT A GLANCE
See what is coming in the liturgical year, and move freely between the Gregorian and Coptic calendars.

UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU PRAY
Many sections carry footnotes on their history, development and meaning, drawing on scholarly books and journal articles, for a deeper understanding of our heritage.

WIDGETS
Home-screen widgets show the Coptic date, the season, the day's lections, and the commemorations of the day.

A DEDICATED PRESENTER VIEW
Synaxis comes with a presenter view, so you can have full control while the presentation stays distraction-free for your congregation. It shows what is current and what comes next. Navigate with a Bluetooth remote, customise sections on the go, and control exactly what appears on-screen.
