Simultaneous liturgies in the small space of the Virgin's Tomb on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. The Armenians have status quo rights to celebrate the liturgy here every day, and they allow the Copts and the Syrians to join them regularly(celebrating simultaneously) because they do not have the same status quo rights. This video shows simultaneous Armenian and Coptic celebrations. The first priest is Copt, the second Armenian. The liturgies are sung heartily by accompanying clerics and lay worshipers in the two different liturgical languages.
