Divine Liturgy Study- Proskomide 

In Orthodoxy they are also _consecrated_ during the Liturgy. This is just the preparation of the gifts which will be consecrated during said Liturgy

This is not consecration. This is preparing for concecratoon.

Amen 😊

Sisoes1 we don’t care for Byzantine catholicism, because they have left the faith.

What about it?

A fascinating ancient writing containing some very important perspectives.

What do you want to say? I don't understand what is going on when I see only my name in a reply.

*****, I Am Protestant, And Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, so just to Make Sure I Get u, it's just simply eating then bread and juice the way the twelve Apostles Did W Christ. That Makes Sense.

*****, sorry, we use juice, so I called it juice. But ok.

LTCWM1 this is more like the last supper, than the crucifixion.

Orthodox Christianity doesn’t re-Crucify Christ in the Eucharist. We always participate in the Resurrection! We use wine and levened bread because Christ lives! The translation of the word do this in ‘remembrance’ doesn’t convey the meaning of the Greek word (original word). The meaning is to do this and keep doing this ‘as a present reality’. What Christ does is Mystery. We receive the gift, we don’t ‘take’ it.

I am going to patent the paten hahaha

mitrovdan That’s not true! Women go behind the Iconostasis once a year at my Parish (men too). Nuns assist the Priest behind the Iconostasis at Monasteries (they even cense the Church like a Deacon wearing a special caplet.) It’s superstitious nonsense. Holy Friday our Myrrhbarers (women) are the ones that wrap the body of Christ in linen when the Priest removes Him from the cross. Readers, chanters are women and in Africa there are female Deacons. It’s perfectly fine that only men are Priests and Bishops but women are not cursed.

Also not times and times ago, in Greece all the pieces are cutted for Angelic Orders and the Saints, you already do ~1hour Liturgy instead if three, make Prothesis well, you said it we pay attention to detail.

Jacob Good First of all, he's not from the middle ages, secondly yes he was an anti-Semite his "harsh words" go way beyond being harsh and become racist and anti-Semitic. Have you not read his sermons?

Michael Caza-Schonberger There is no such thing as anti-Semitism in the ancient world.

Concerning Saint John Chrysostom, I do not know if I would ever call him an anti-Semite, but to say there was no such thing in the ancient world is just plain wrong. What about Haman, in Esther? What about Antiochus the Greek? There was plenty of hatred for Jews in Roman times as well. To say any kind of prejudice didn't exist in the ancient world is just plain ridiculous. Every kind of prejudice has existed at just about every time in history!

David Star500 You're missing the point, I'm specifically talking about John because the pastor was. Stay on topic.

+Dojocho Was Jesus Christ calling himself a devil then, since he was also a Jew?

This is a completely useless comment. It makes no sense. The rite isn’t strange to the millions of Orthodox Christians that have been practicing this preparatory rite for the Sri barista for centuries. This is how the bread and wine have been prepared for the Eucharist for centuries.
