How wonderful! It takes so much work to make something and it is always a work in progress. Someone said the other day "every week there is something new".

@@ArchimandritePhilip πάντοτε! Πάτερ, your statement that entering the altar sanctuary is 'a privilege and never a right' resonated with me deeply. When Mum sends me to church with the gifts of offering loaves and oil - always in a fancy paper bag - I never fail to feel the awe of the 'Deus tremendum et fascinans' of the theologians re this maxim when entering the Deacon/Angel Door (Archangel Michael to the right).

Went to a greek orthodox church as i was wanted to be apart of Orthodoxy and had been interested into it due to my research and was extremely nervous especially with all where greeks so felt so out of place with all the eye staring But the father at the church i was disappointed with due to his less of engagement at the end of the service when talking to him seemed like he just wanted to go home. Perhaps i shall try again. 🇬🇧
@ArchimandritePhilip Жыл бұрын
That is a pity. Usually you'll find that people are very open to having "strangers" turn up. Perhaps try another church next time. Some places are very geared to being Chaplaincies to a particular national group and have little or no idea what do do when someone from the locality turns up. It's a pity thiswas your first experience. God bless you!

Just dress modestly and don't worry if you're the only person who turns up "on time" as people will turn up throughout the service. It's worth checking if the church is a parish or an ethnic chaplaincy as although a chaplaincy will be very welcoming it's likely they won't have a clue how to help you. God bless you!

@@Vladimir82623 OK well that means we are the latter. (The Church building is on the point of being bought). I have two other missions currently and another in the pipeline. The one has a long long term lease on a building and the option to buy another one. The second is much more just getting on its feet. They use a building and need to go looking for another. This second one has the possibility of having its own clergy the first one might get a priest but one needs to be found. The church in the video: they have me and a deacon, there are several potential future clergy in the pipeline... so I wonder if that answers your question? Your prayers!

I don’t comprehend how Mary becomes another different route that’s not said in the bible ?? And does this cancel out Jesus and the Holy Spirit?

Word icon means "window" to heaven. Oral traditions of church believes that Apostle Luke drew 4 icons and one of them was of mother Marry. Icons are not idols because we dont worship icons or treat them as gods, they are important objects to represent saints and help to make intercession prayers with them. Orthodox church does not believe that saints are "dead" we believe saints are in heaven they are alive and can hear our prayers. Their stories are also inspiring and they give us an example how to get closer to christ because each saint had different path in life and we can learn a lot from them.

@@juneduffy4502to understand why mother Mary is so venerated in orthodox church, thats has to do with jewish history too, as you know, someone is classified as a Jew only by being born from mother's side. Mothers are very important in Jewish culture because they are responsible for passing down traditions to the children, old testament also refers to respecting parents and even honoring them (after their death). Venerating mother marry is obligatory because she bore literal son of God, which why she received title theotokos (mother of God)
