The Divine Liturgy, θεία λειτουργία, of St. John Chrysostom is the second most practiced Liturgy in Christendom (next to the Roman rite Mass). This video is a tribute to the great Liturgy of the east, not a live presentation of it. This is the primarily used Divine Liturgy of the Eastern Churches (Orthodox and Catholic). This video contains a number of images of the Liturgy in practice across a wide array of churches and rites. The musical selections, from the CD "Sacred Treasures" are (in order) the Great Ektenia, Cherubic Hymn, Amen and With Thy Spirit, and Otche Nash. God bless you all.
As a Byzantine Catholic this is our Liturgy. We cantor mostly in English and Church Slavonic. The Liturgy is most beautiful. It is unlike anything the Romans have to offer (not to say they don't have beautiful Mass because they do). When I receive communion I cry.

@brigon102 I recognize the most of it to be Slavonic.

@coolest813 I could almost guarantee it's Greek, given that St. John Chrysostom was the Bishop of Constantinople.
