ABSTRACT: During the less complex and less sophisticated ages, man was in closer contact with God and a sort of fellow-feeling bound them. Nowadays, if we go to visit the Coptic monasteries, we can live a different and a very interesting experience. Several are the visitors of the Coptic monasteries in Egypt and abroad. Sometimes, visitors want to spend several days in these spiritual places to enjoy the monks’ life and to follow their system. Why these monasteries attract the visitors? Is it only to worship? How is the daily life inside these religious foundations? How are living the monks together? What are their different activities? I would like to focus my on the details of the daily life of these monks. I’ll start my study by describing the scientific meaning of the words monastery, monk and nun. Then, I’ll speak about the main reasons that caused the appearance of the Coptic monasticism. I’ll deal also with the various categories of the monks who lived inside the Coptic monasteries, their grades, their clothes and their different activities. منذ بدء الخليقة، وجدت علاقة حميمة دائمة بين الإنسان وخالقه. وقد أخذت هذه العلاقة أشکالاً متعددة بسبب اختلاف المعتقدات الدينية. وعند زيارة الأديرة القبطية، يعيش الزائرون تجربة متميزة وفريدة. ويتوافد الزائرون من مصر وخارجها على الأديرة القبطية لقضاء بعض الأوقات فى هذا المنشآت الدينية والتى شيدت منذ القدم فى الصحارى المصرية. ولکن ما الذى يجذب هؤلاء الزائرون لهذا الأديرة البعيدة ؟ هل السبب فقط هو العبادات ؟ وکيف تکون الحياة اليومية داخل هذه الأبنية ؟ وکيف يتعايش الرهبان متعددى الجنسيات معاً ؟ وما هى أنشطتهم اليومية المختلفة ؟ لذا حرصت الباحثة على الإجابة على کل هذه التساؤلات من خلال توضيح المقصود بببعض المصطلحات مثل الدير والراهب والمکرسات إلى جانب دراسة الأسباب التى أدت إلى ظهور حرکة الرهبنة القبطية. کما تتناولت هذه الدراسة أنواع الرهبان الذين عاشوا داخل الأديرة القبطية ودرجاتهم الکهنوتية وملابسهم وأنشطتهم اليومية المختلفة. أستاذ | ||||
