Thank you.. Greetings from Corinth..Greece... Thank you for your sincere boldness... If we have studied Didaché and fathers and writings of the first Christian centuries , they would have agreed with you., gid bless you...
Father, bless! When we are going to partake of Holy Communion in a Vigil, how many hours before should we fast? In my parish Vigils start at 8:00 PM and end at 12:15 AM. Thank you!
Yeah I think I'll stick with Anglican Catholic church they make more sense than aren't all caught up in these weird rituals. Orthodoxy is a bit strange to be honest.
Ukrainian Orthodox That does not tally with the Creed: ."..I believe in the Resurrection of the dead..." Who are we to say that our bodies will not //cannot be resurrected by the Lord our Creator and Saviour. We live in the faith that we are made free of our sin by our Baptism and the Eucharist, and that we keep things 'up-to-date' by our Confession[s] and absolution[s]. And it is the Gift of the Holy Spirit that inspires us to do so.
Just read the scriptures. I see most of these myths seem to have to do with old jewish law from which we as Christians are, thank be to God, not under. People who follow 1 of these laws (Jews) are supposed to follow all of them, and if they don't that is a very bad thing. This was explained in detail by Paul in the New Testament. I guess the best advice would be to actually simply read God's word totally. If you love the Lord you will read His word.🙏🏻
Thank You Achen(Father) for your speaches. I am a theological student of Mar Thoma Church a Reformed Oriental Church, likes your thoughts. May God Bless
@@annunciationorthodox have you made that video yet? The last statement was confusing to me? Obviously, no one can be worthy of taking the Holy Communion but shouldn't there be special preparations?
My spiritual father, who was a spiritual child of Elder Ephraim of Arizona, told me not to receive Holy Communion during my time of the month. I don't know where this priest is getting this from. Just like a mother is not to enter Church during her 40 s days after childbirth, likewise, we are not to receive Holy Communion during menstruation. Lord have mercy.
Let us firstly take a look at the 2nd Canon by Saint Dionysios of Alexandria, which is the only Canon that focuses specifically on the matter and is also included in the “Pedalion” (The Rudder). It says in the Pedalion: “Being questioned as to whether women during their menstrual period can enter the temple of God, the saint replied that there was no need for that question to be posed at all, because if those women possess the appropriate piety for divine things, they will of their own accord not dare to approach the Holy Altar and receive the Body and Blood of Christ while still in the state of menstruation. Because they should bring to mind that hemorrhaging woman in the Gospel, who, out of excessive piety did not dare to touch Christ’s body (to be healed) and touched only the hem of His garment. They can, however, either pray at home, or when they are in the Narthex (vestibule) of the Temple beseeching God, asking for help and salvation from Him. One is, however, hindered from approaching the Holy of Holies - that is, the partaking of the Body and the Blood of Christ - if that person is unclean in soul and in body, just as unclean in body is the woman who is in the state of menstruation”. (Pedalion, p.445-446
Which woman in her right mined would receive Holy Communion when she's menstruating.? There are many other times when she can ,so why receive the most Holy blood of Christ and lose it at the same time?
The Holy communion is "the Ritual cannibalism" "The New Testament jesus" in the Light of Old Testament is an impostor a Liar and some people also call him a Lunatic....And Christian missionaries believe that the opposite word for Lunatic is God so jesus is a god 😀 😄 The Book of Revelations is Based on an Anonymous Person's Dream, And in His Dream He saw (A Polycephaly) Multiple Heads Animal with Horns in and Horns out, Most probably that Dream occurred because of His excessive Eating 🍖🥩🥓🌭 and Drinking 🍺🍷🍾🍻🍸 .. How could christians Rely on such a Dream ?????
And sharing the spoon when receiving communion with other people is just a covid nightmare waiting to happen. In the Anglican Catholic Church we use intinction way and dip the body of Christ (host) into the wine (blood) so that way you're getting the body and blood of Christ all at once and it's more hygienic.
@@user-hm4hi2wl5o Covid is a respiratory virus. Respiratory viruses are transmitted through the air, not from surfaces like door handles and Communion spoons. (And, btw, masks don't stop transmission because the virus particles are smaller than the weave of the mask). Besides, we Orthodox have used single Communion spoons for 2,000+ years. If the practice were as dangerous as you seem to think it is, we'd have died off by now. Yet here we are😀
It is forbidden by the Holy Canons to even enter a Church during menstruation
Father will answer your question in tonight's Orthodoxy Questions Answered.
@@annunciationorthodox This was not a question!

Our pleasure! Blessings to you and Greece!
We receive all of the Holy Sacraments because of God's Grace, not because of worthiness.
Forget this protestant nonsense
I would not say this but if you where at my church I’d go to church more often
I'm not Greek but I know several that does this24/7, most likely this is why I'm so messed up and thank you.
Please dont misguide people! Do not brush after Holy Communion!!!
Father, bless!

Thank you!
We are going to answer this question in tonight's Orthodoxy Questions Answered show. Great question!
My diocese mandates fasting for at least eight hours prior to receiving Holy Communion so as to fully empty the stomach. Water is always allowed.
Yes brush your teeth when you wake up in the morning to go anywhere lol
Indeed!
I think a more appropriate way to frame the last one is what would make someone UNWORTHY (or unprepared) to take Holy Communion and for how long.
Yeah I think I'll stick with Anglican Catholic church they make more sense than aren't all caught up in these weird rituals. Orthodoxy is a bit strange to be honest.
What rituals?
Oral hygiene is key for digestive and cardiovascular health so brushing teeth is very important. God bless Orthodoxy!

Do we say our baptismal name before or after the priest says "Servant of God"?

My SF told me we shouldnt brush our teeth before communion, so I think that point is up to your SF right? Or am I wrong?

Is this correct that woman during menstruation may receive holy communion?
No, one shouldn't recieve when they are bleeding male or female because it is a bloodless sacrifice.

What horrible protestant nonsense from an angilcan pastor
Giving Communion to unbelivers or in hand is a sin which your church doing still now. God will punish your church for this.
Buddy you have the Orthodox Church confused with something else.
What are you talking about
The Holy communion is "the Ritual cannibalism"
"The New Testament jesus" in the Light of Old Testament is an impostor a Liar and some people also call him a Lunatic....And Christian missionaries believe that the opposite word for Lunatic is God so jesus is a god 😀 😄

@@lemon3897 no the Eucharist doesn't but the sick people sharing the same 🥄 definitely will. Don't kid yourself.
