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!

@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.

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.

@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.

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.

@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.

@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.

@amandia008 Thanks so much for the answer! Blessings!

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.

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

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!
