As a practicing Roman Catholic, I want to say thank you for your clear explanation on a sometimes difficult subject. Thank you Father

[@agorarcadon]

Truly beautiful! I am often conflicted about fasting, but it is undeniably a part of Christianity. May God bless you.

[@priceless9650]

Amen father

I know our voices; even in times of weakness, contribute to the restoration of both the word, and ears that hear them. May all prayers be heard. Great joy to meet friends in faith, from who without our voice could not have grown; maybe what is called evolution, that even now has to frighten me back to consult tradition. Let us preserve ourselves through god who is eternal, who shared with us the gift of eternity. Amen Bless those humble enough to find the strength, Thank you father! Thank God, that I maybe weakened by the world and always find a place of shelter to rest. PS I just read some comments, beautiful is the word I use in relation to Orthodox traditions - as a Christain, and Roman Catholic and as a voice.

Thank you father this is a topic that I have been interested in. I know my parents fast but it's hard to get a straight answer out of them. I think they don't eat meat or dairy for a few days before communion? Could you give us specifics on how to start and then we can adjust if needed to our abilities? Specifically what should we refrain from eating (meat,fish,anything) and drinking (only water is allowed/nothing is allowed?), and what type of time frames should we be looking at? I remember reading in Eustace Mullins all ancient healing practices began with purification and fasting. Thank you again father, any additional info on this topic would be very helpful.

[@andreasliou007]

In Orthodoxy, we fast all year round on Wednesdays and Fridays. We also fast for 40 days before Christmas, 40 days before Easter (Great Lent), from 1-15 of August for the Dormition of the Theotokos, as well as a couple other days were certain saints are celebrated. Be sure to ask your spiritual father for instructions, as fasting may apply a bit differently to each person, depending on each person's condition and capabilities.

[@javierjalisco17]

@andreasliou007 I'm orthodox too thats why I tried to ask my parents. So on Wednesdays and Friday you eat and drink nothing? Is water ok? Details please lol.

[@Trisagionfilms]

@javierjalisco17 On Wednesdays and Fridays, you eat whatever the church and your spiritual father advise you to eat. Only ascetics and very strict ones eat nothing or only water and bread during fasts. That's a different level. It would help if you moved slowly before doing something like that, and even then, outside the monastery, most people eat regular meals(fasting ones). Usually, if you look up your parish or diocese website, it will tell you what is and isn't allowed. I would not recommend cutting out everything and only drinking water and bread. Talk to a priest.

[@Yeshua.Is.The.Way888]

Hey could you do a video about saint John Chrysostom please?

[@vaglo_x5067]

Trisagion Films could you please tell me the name of the Psalm which you have used as an Intro for der Saint Spyridon Video. I love it and I can't find it!

Hello. I am not a member of this channel. I mean I don't donate. But I would like, if possible, to make a short documentary about a Romanian Holy Father in the future. For example, you can do about one of the Great Saints that Romania has ever had. Father Arsenie Boca. There are many nice words addressed to him. Miracles, healing, wisdom, gentleness, kindness. But some believe it is not so. But I believe. Father did many miracles with me and others. He fell asleep I think 30 years ago. (I think) Anyway, I congratulate you for making these beautiful films. Maybe you will also do about Saint Xenia of Saint Petersburg or Saint Matrona of Moscow. Anyway I think it's the donors decision. God help and may the Most Holy and Most Pure Mother of God help you

[@Trisagionfilms]

We decide what videos get made, unless someone donates money for a specific saint. We made one about sait Xenia: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYjalmOOlpqdlck And at some point we will do a Romanian saint as well, perhaps it will be Saint Arsenie Boca. May God be with you and have a merry Christmas

[@maddieelizabeth3042]

​@@TrisagionfilmsThank you for doing about Saint Xenia. (I didn't see that there was already one on the channel) and thank you for considering dealing with a Romanian Saint, especially Arsenie Boca. Merry Christmas! And may God and His Mother protect you

[@michaelscott3584]

Hello i am wondering if you guys can make a documentary on Saint Charbel please? God Bless you!

[@Trisagionfilms]

We only do videos about people who were/are apart of the Orthodox church, as far as I know he was Roman Catholic

[@michaelscott3584]

@Trisagionfilms ah okay sorry for asking

[@Trisagionfilms]

@michaelscott3584 No need to apologise you didn’t know :)

[@kiyotakitv]

There are two movies of Saint Charbel here on youtube. One older, and one more recent, both are great movies. In case you did not know. May God Bless You.

[@michaelscott3584]
