I am a hindu from india . In my country Christians are considered as 2nd largest minority after muslims . I visited church , witnessed many Christians but all of them were either catholic or protestants , evangelists . Some of them are accused of proselytisation of disbelievers . Orthodox Christians are very rare in my country . But orthodoxy entices me a lot . This video is so satisfying , pleasant to hear out those holy chants from the monks . I love their monasticism , their celibacy , spirituality . It feels that I am very close to the redemption from all mischievous and sacrilegious deeds . We the mundane people will never understand the celestial ecstasy they enjoy there . I anticipate that I will visit there once in my life. I am 24 . Pray for me so that I can attend the holy prayer there .

I am non-religious, but the Eastern Orthodox faith is beautiful!

[@toniyaacoub7951]

I wish everyone could see and witness the true greatness of orthodoxy. Not just because of the great hymns of byzantin music and the perfectly organized liturgy, but because orthodoxy isn’t a religion, it’s a way of life. You are born orthodox and live orthodox. And this directly refers to spending every single moment to Christ and to include him in everything you do. I wish that everyone could see how orthodoxy can cleanse the soul and purify it in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. I wish everyone could understand the true meaning of all the liturgies and how they are placed and what do they represent. I wish that everyone could understand that the Orthodox church is the only church today that has kept the traditions and that only Christ is its founder (not any king or pope) and that the holy spirit is the one making it function. I wish that everyone could behold this blessing and live with it for the rest of our days☦️☦️☦️☦️☦️☦️ From an unworthy byzantin chanter from lebanon.

Here’s an article for you to read about our holy fathers. www.oca.org/orthodoxy/the-orthodox-faith/doctrine-scripture/sources-of-christian-doctrine/the-fathers Chris this time rather than attacking because you are not God and if I did make a mistake than God sees all. Even with my mistakes I will admit them and say forgive me my brothers and sisters.

Well first off, you gotta join the Orthodox Church. Many of those in Mt Athos are Greek and are from the Greek Orthodoz church, but any Eastern Orthodox can join. Second, become an Orthodox priest, usually by attending a four year seminary. Third, the seminary can put you into contact with the head monks at Mt Athos to begin a three year trial period when you’re on the island to determine if you can make it
