Orthodox Divine Liturgy (Arabic & Greek) P1 - Great Litany

[chevalier028]

Greeting brother of Orthodox Church

I am a Protestant myself from Hong Kong

No doubt I have many question about Orthodox since Orthodox is popular in here

only one chapel I searched

Would you suggest me books for further study about Orthodox

Thank you brother in our Lord Jesus Christ

[grkballer94]

@chevalier028 I suggest you read "The Orthodox way" by Metropolitan Kallistos Ware. Great book, it will teach you and guide you througout your journey. God Bless.

@nihigim

They are NOT Roman Catholics in that they have no "pope;" ALL their Patriarchs are bishops and hold the same authority, as in the early days of Christianity. The idea of the Bishop of Rome as the head of...well, ANYTHING, did not exist until later. They are NOT in communion with Rome, and the idea of Papal infallibility and one bishop as the supreme leader is, to them, heresy. This particular monastery/church is under the jurisdiction of the Patriarch of Antioch.

@nihigim

I think these are Greek Orthodox Lebanese, not Maronites or Melkites.

@greekvvedge Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch

[jedi1991]

God bless you all! I'm a Roman Catholic preparing, God willing, to enter seminary next year. I pray that our Churches will continue to find unity! As Pope John Paul II quoted, we are two lungs in the same Church body!

[bebetonguga]

Thanks for keeping faithful to the Tradition of the great Fathers of the Church! Besides, the voices are really beautiful!!!!

[bebetonguga]

I'm a roman Catholic and I'm pleased and rejoiced watching and hearing how these Church praises and worships the Lord, the Monogenos! Let our Mother, the Panagia bring us all together under one Shepherd as one flock! Blessings from Argentina.

Btw, one question, can only one priest celebrate mass? Or it must be concelebrated necesarily? Thanks for the answers!

[amandia008]

@bebetonguga Sorry for the late reply. Only one priest is necessary to perform the liturgy. However he cannot perform it one his own, ie there being no people in the church.

[bebetonguga]

@amandia008 Thanks so much for the answer! Blessings!

[19Memnon91]

@bebetonguga Dear friend, yes-one priest can celebrate mass, i mean one priest can LEAD holy mass, but people are required-the laymans, and without them mass cannot be celebrated.

[JFMello1116]

Does one have the text of the Great Litany in Arabic, or know of a place to find it?

[ProtestantsRUs]

This is beautiful, love my Orthodox brothers

[sportschick1719]

In the Greek Orthodox Church in the U.S., the priest faces the congregation when singing "Christos Anesti" and he blesses the people with the candles. We sing it three times together with the priest and the choir.

[amandia008]

@sportschick1719 This is not the service of Pascha, it is a Divine Liturgy during the Pentecostarian. Also even though we are the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch, we also have our traditions pertaining to our see. Not everything is a copy paste of the Greek Church, and i'm sure if you attend services in Greece or any other country you will see that everything is not how it is in your parish in America.

[giosia03]

Christ has risen! IXC :-)

[leoortodoxo]

Ola amandia008 hoje o abuna Rafael esta no meu pais Brasil na cidade de Goiânia e um presente para nos Brasileiros e para a ortodoxia

[ggrean]

It is beautiful...May God bless all orthodox Christian brothers.

[Randeezy72]

I was a roman catholic at one time , does this congregation have their own pope ? how does it differ than the roman church ? this is interesting... thanks and God bless

[Cherubicon]

The Orthodox Church is comprised of several local churches, sharing the same faith and in communion. The oldest churches and some of the newer ones are headed by Patriarchs. The oldest Patriarchates are Rome, Antioch, Alexandria, Jerusalem, and Constantinople. Rome broke away from the Orthodox Church when the Pope claimed to have supremacy over the entire church, contrary to the ancient order, and that's how the Roman Catholic Church was created. The 4 remaining Patriarchates remained Orthodox.

[soldier9718]

[stevennewnan]

Blessings to our Brother Antiochian Orthodox Christians from an Antiochian Melkite Greek Catholic. Pray for the restoration of our Patriarchate to unity as One Church of Antioch as it was before 1724AD.

[KabaneTheChristian]

[Ariadni7979]

The "Xristos Anesth" chant is soo beautiful =)

[NIKDAGREEK27]

how many people are orthodox christ in lebanon?

[justinelhillow]

not many, most Christians in Lebanon are Catholics, or Maronite. Majority of Orthodox Arabs are from Egypt, Syria, and some from Iraq

[PaganFreak9210]

ciao this was beautiful i have to say this makes me want to go to the orthodox weather i am accepted for my sexuality or not thanks a lot for such a good video:):) im going to an orthodox church soon. antiochian i think im excited to hear a choir like this. thank you kyrie elison

[VivaPink]

Very nice. The church reminded me of the 'western rite' since it has no iconostasis.

[bezmolvie]

lol

[DanVilAl]

Old churches do not have iconostases, they became more common from the XI century onwards, except in the Byzantine Empire.

[bezmolvie]

Katapetasmas have been used before iconostases to separate the naos from the altar. Judging by the writings of Eusebius starting from around 4th century (maybe even earlier) wooden partitions appeared.

[DanVilAl]

This has a sort of separation, of that kind. Chancel screens were used first. The iconostasis as we know it appeared ca. XI, first in Byzantine lands. Greetings! =)

[bezmolvie]

Greetings! That's true but the point is that the altar has always been separated (during appropriate times) from the view of the faithful. There has never been a time when EVERYTHING was done in the open (in the manner that most catholics do now). Antiochian churches in America bring out the altar and put it right infront of people and perform the litrurgy in that way, stoping and talking/explaining things to the parishoners.

[Leverandon]

This is wonderful! I love the Kyrie around 3:40.

[perperpita]

DHOXA SI KIRIE DHOXA SI !!!!!!!!!!

[rossboss1]

This is an Easter (or Bright Week) Liturgy - as evidence by the "Xristos Anesti" hymn being sung.

[amandia008]

It was about 3weeks after easter. Christ Is Risen is chanted until Ascension.

[readermichael]

@rossboss1 Forgive me. Not throughout the Pentecostarion but until Ascension.

[saltadoros08]

hallo brothers from greece

[baldwalrus7]

Blessings to all our Orthodox brethren (from a Catholic). Gloria in excelsis Deo.

yukisohma357:

Mubarakaton memleket ul Ab, wal Ib'n wa ruh-il-Qudus, al ana wa kulla awanen wa i-la dar id-dahireen.

The vowels, however, are not western vowels. Find a Lebanese dialect speaker if you can to get the full flavor of the language.

(Brought up in Byzantine Melkite rite)

[yukisohma357]

Can anyone please translate "Blessed is the kingdom of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit now and forever and unto the ages of ages" in Arabic? Just transliterate it please coz i cant read arabic script

[UW1000]

"Mubaarakon Hiya Mamlakatul Aabi wal-Ibni, Warrouhil Kudos.  Alaana wa kulla awaanen, wa ila dahridahereen. Ameen."

May God bless you and be with you.

With Fatherly Love in Christ,

An unworthy Priest

[warszawianka]

God bless the Holy Orthodox Church in all of its countries! The Divine Liturgy in Arabic is so beautiful. Arabic was the language of Christians long before it was the language of Muslims, and there are still many, many Arab Christians all around the world, most of whom are Orthodox.

[ortodoxox]

I want to invite you all to listen our bizantine choir, singing in spanish our beloved bizantine hymns and tradition.

Alla ma3kon.

[Flirtpoker]

Iam Orthodox of the Greek Orthodox Church from Antiochia !!!!

[Nielsng]

I'm studying theology and I have to learn about the history of the Eastern Orthodox Church, I must say it's very interesting! The place of worship in your theology has had great effects. It is really beautiful to see the Orthodox liturgy. May the Lord bless you and stay with you :).

Greetings from a western brother in Christ.

[HellasCyprus]

yeh it is easter Christ has risen Hristos Anesti

[bazzil07]

Video quality is surprisingly good for You Tube. Service is very nice. Audio is a bit rough but that's to be expected. The church doesn't have carpeting to buffer the echo. A shame there isn't more Orthodox info on the web such as this.

[CopticLion]

God bless his Orthodoxy church...

[amandia008]

No, just a regular Sunday Liturgy, but it is within the period after Easter, hence the chanting of Christos Anesti.

[xristoforos11]

ook thanks :D

[xristoforos11]

this is easter correct?
