The question

What is the rite of the readings on the 29th of each Coptic month?

The answer

There are two opinions here; one says we should read the Reading of 29th of Paramhotep in order to be in harmony with the hymns of the feasts. The second opinion is to follow the Readings of the Katameros. I personally recommend the first opinion.
