In the modern Coptic calendar, the season falls between Paopi 10 and Tobi 10.

Plymouth, England
Plymouth () is a port city and unitary authority in South West England. It is located on the south coast of Devon, approximately south-west of Exeter and south-west of London. It is bordered by Cornwall to the west and south-west. Plymouth's early history extends to the Bronze Age when a first settlement emerged at Mount Batten. This settlement continued as a trading post for the Roman Empire, until it was surpassed by the more prosperous village of Sutton founded in the ninth century, now called Plymouth. In 1588, an English fleet based in Plymouth intercepted and defeated the Spanish Armada. In 1620, the Pilgrim Fathers departed Plymouth for the New World and established Plymouth Colony, the second English settlement in what is now the United States of America. During the English Civil War, the town was held by the Parliamentarians and was besieged between 1642 and 1646. Throughout the Industrial Revolution, Plymouth grew as a commercial shipping port, handling import ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Buzi
Buzi (Hebrew: בּוּזִי, ''Būzī'') was the father of Ezekiel and priest of Jerusalem ( Ezekiel 1:3). Ezekiel, like Jeremiah, is said to have been a descendant of Joshua by his marriage with the proselyte Rahab (Talmud Meg. 14b; Midrash Sifre, Num. 78). The name Buzi comes from the Hebrew word Buz (בּוּז), meaning “despise.” Buz is also a name of the second son of Nahor, therefore making the name “Buzi” potentially mean a “son of Buz” (denoting Buzi most likely being a descendent of Buz son of Nahor or inhabitants of his land). Because the etymological connection to the word “despise,” some traditions argue that Buzi is the same figure as the prophet Jeremiah Jeremiah, Modern: , Tiberian: ; el, Ἰερεμίας, Ieremíās; meaning "Yah shall raise" (c. 650 – c. 570 BC), also called Jeremias or the "weeping prophet", was one of the major prophets of the Hebrew Bible. According to Jewis ..., who was also called "Buzi" because he was despi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
