    Thoughts on Confirmation

    True. I am over-generalizing with this. I believe the same could be said with someone becoming Catholic after being Orthodox. (@chevyontheriver Is my understanding accurate, in that the conversion process for Orthodox to Catholic is different than the conversion process from a church like an...

    Thoughts on Confirmation

    Side note - Adults coming into the Orthodox Church go through a catechism class that is similar to RCIA (from what I understand of the RCIA classes). This needs to be completed prior to chrismation and (if needed) baptism. We have catechism classes as part of the adult Sunday education lessons...

    Thoughts on Confirmation

    Yes, a priest normally performs the chrismation.

    Thoughts on Confirmation

    Orthodox “confirmation” is our chrismation. This actually happens when the child is baptized. They partake of the Eucharist from that time forward and are full members of the Church. The closest rite that marks their informed belief is their first confession. This typically happens around...

    "Most Holy Theotokos, save us"

    Oh - I thought you meant the OCA - which was the opposite of what you said earlier (and what I’ve seen :) ). Thank you for clarifying.

    "Most Holy Theotokos, save us"

    Do you mean the festal litanies? Through the prayers of the Theotokos save us?

    "Most Holy Theotokos, save us"

    Okay - yes, we have it at the end of Vespers - I just haven’t seen it in DL. Thanks!

    "Most Holy Theotokos, save us"

    Do you have that said by the people in your parish at the litany section of the Divine Liturgy? I haven’t heard it at any of the OCA parishes for the 17 years that I’ve been Orthodox. Same with the OCA St Tikhon’s text of the Divine Liturgy...

    "Most Holy Theotokos, save us"

    We still have it in Vespers - I don't remember it being in the Divine Liturgy, except on Feast Day festal antiphons (through the prayers of the Theotokos, save us). That said, I am in the choir, so I am singing the responses during that time. It's possible I'm missing it.

    St. Euphrosynos Taverna and Ouzeri (another one!)

    We have some volunteer plants most years, but we hired someone to help clean out our gardens this year - and the volunteer plants are gone. Oh well! We finally got a fence around my garden, but it makes it challenging to get to the garden to weed…

    Disturbing and Once Again, Another Grave Error Via the GOC Archbishop

    If I were GOC, then I would feel like it hit close to home as well. And yes, we should as layperson’s watch out for the integrity of the Church. Prayers for all. :crosseo:

    Disturbing and Once Again, Another Grave Error Via the GOC Archbishop

    That’s good to hear. I still maintain my other points though.
