Congratulations. I have accepted Christ into my heart & live for him in this realm! I try to do my part for the glory of Yahweh. With that being said I’m having a tough time finding the correct church for my family & I. I’m praying I figure this out soon. With that being said I really hope this past year has been great for you & your family! GodBless
@@jerrygg1619 the Coptic Orthodox are not in communion with the Eastern Orthodox, they do not believe in the same councils since the Council of Chalcedon
Late, but I've recently been thinking about becoming Orthodox, and if I do, I want to have a big heart like your gf, and lead many people to Orthodoxy 😊
Being a lost sheep, wandering the desert for years and looking for my shepherd, last Sunday, I experienced the Divine Liturgy for the first time. After that, when I was at home and I was reliving it in my memory, suddenly the whole experience got transformed into its essence, I heard the choir, smelled the incense and experienced it with even more Glory. It was like the Heavens opened up and I heard the Angels sing and an overwhelming love embraced me. It was so beautiful and pure. I cried for hours, I was overcome with joy and sadness. Now the memory has faded and the intense emotions have subsided. The clarity is gone but one thing remains, I’m sure the Orthodox Church is as real as it gets and Divine Liturgy is called Divine for a reason. It took the better part of a day for that realization to sink in but when it did, it was amazing! It took a nights sleep to be able to function again. I am so grateful to God for this experience and to the parish for letting me attend. Glory to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit! Christ is Risen! ☦️🙏🏻
i AM GREEK ORTHODOX...AND YOU SUMMED UP ALL MY LIFE AND BELIEFS IN 13 MINUTES......EVERYTHING YOU SAID IS RIGHT ON....BE BLESSED MY BROTHER IN CHRIST AND MAY WE ALL BE WELL AND SAFE FROM EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Samuel Feitosa porque abandonas a Igreja do Filho de Deus? Porventura esqueces que foi em Pedro que Cristo fundou a sua Igreja? Que foi sobre ele que caiu a primazia de entre os Bispos? O Senhor disse que as portas do inferno nunca prevaleceriam contra a sua Igreja, e apesar de 2000 anos de perseguição e sofrimento, o Catolicismo cá está, forte e em crescimento, abençoado pelas Graças do Altíssimo. Seja qual for a tua decisão, que Deus te guie e guarde, mas rogo-te que te mantenhas fiel à Igreja Verdadeira e resistas a esta provação.
All my life I've been looking for the religion for me, from catholic to Baha'i and remained atheist for a while, I really want to be an orthodox christian and stay an orthodox christian, it's a very beautiful religion and I really hope that I'll stop being so hateful, and to live life the way God intended, with love, excellent and beautiful video that got me in tears! We are all brothers in Christ no matter what!
I am seriously thinking of turning to the Orthodox faith. I am currently Lutheran. My local Orthodox Church is holding lessons on their faith every second Thursday, lasting until spring, I missed the first lesson two weeks ago but I think I will go to this Thrusday's lesson. Once I have gone to enough lessons and if I feel that it is the path for me, and the Church accepts me, I will join the faith. This video gave me alot of information which is very useful, thankyou!
Better said: the only Latin orthodox people in the world :) It's a bit misleading to say we "became" orthodox, because for the past 2000 years we were never anything other than orthodox :) We received the Christian faith from the apostle Andrew and have remained faithful to the true Church throughout our history. The only exception being the forced conversions to Catholicism imposed by the Austro-Hungarian empire on the Romanians in Transylvania during the middle ages.
My bad! ^^' by Middle Ages I actually meant the 17th- 18th centuries (which weren't Middle Ages for the rest of Europe, but pretty much still were for Eastern Europe). It was the Habsburg empire I was referring to, but you are right, it hadn't become the Austrian-Hungarian empire yet.
I am Orthodox so I get to say this. I love that this video in entitled "A Brief Description" and it is nearly 14 minutes long, rather than 2 or 3. That is soooo Orthodox. For instance, during our evening service called Great Vespers, the priest at one point says, "Let us complete our evening prayer to the Lord". One might think the service is almost over...nope, at least 20 more minutes. It has been said, if the Orthodox think something is worth doing, we will find a way to make it take longer. But why not?! We want as much of God as we can get!!
I’m an American who’s been seeking much and through our many Christian denominations. I am finding Orthodoxy is bringing clarity!! Praise God. Looking to converting
I'm a 10 years ago convert and grow deeper in the faith all the time. In Orthodoxy, my spirit feels like it's sitting next to a calm pool of water. Truly wonderful!
So, I'm an Athiest for my ow personal reasons, and I'd just like to let you know, I found your video very informing on some of your religious beliefs, I also particularly enjoy your art style.
Oh thank you, I'm glad you like the style and that you find the video informative! :-) I wish people in the West knew more of Orthodox Christianity as it presents different approaches to Christian doctrine and practice. I assume you found me via Essence of Thought?
Uh, no actually. A bit more embarrassing than that really, I was scrolling through the comments on DaftPina's review of Tabbes, ad saw your comment, my first thoughts were that you were some want to be animater/Bible thumper. I'll be honest I'm a bit ashamed of it, but also glad I was proven wrong.
Ah, lol! I love Tabbes and I've found Pina's commentary rather refreshing. :-) A couple of days ago I got a response video (my first) from Essence of Thought, and I got an onslaught of atheists on my channel, so I assumed you were from there. :-)
I don't even know who Essence of Thought is. heh. One thing I absolutely detest about fellow Athiests on the internet, is a lot of them believe they're absolutely superior to anyone who has any shred of faith in any form of higher power. I think if they realized that people follow Religion for a multitude of reasons other than in armored skeptic's words "Wanting to believe in a mystical sky daddy", they'd be better off.
I know, it's definitely a interesting stance since I myself am an Athiest. Sadly I used to be like that as well though. Thankfully I adopted a better look at life.
Today I am going to great vespers for the first time in years, and will talk to the priest about getting myself and my son baptized. Thank you so much my fellow brother in Christ
ASURA DUDE You’re welcome at the Orthodox Churches if you believe as we do, Brother. Talk with a local priest. There are some differences, but nothing that can’t be overcome with a little understanding.
Bojan, this is probably the best introductory catechetical video I've ever come across. We need more material like this. Thank you. Pozdrav iz Amerike. -Dn. John
Hvala vam oče! :-) I plan to make more cathetical videos (such as - How to Pray in Orthodox manner and similar ones - however I have no idea when those will get their turn).
Molim, a hvala vam, brate! I hope you don't mind, but I've shared this video among several American clergy groups, and with our catechumens here at St. Seraphim Cathedral in Santa Rosa, CA. I look forward to any more videos you might make.
As a catechumen I cannot tell you how helpful I find these short videos that succinctly put some very complicated ideas. Thank you and God be with you. ☦️🙏☦️

Jesus Christ said nothing about praying to Mary are you the saints. Christ said I am the way the truth and the light none shall come to the father except through me.
I’ve been thinking of converting to Orthodoxy from Protestantism. I’m now set on starting my process of becoming an Orthodox Christian after watching this video. Thank you!😁 Update: Was chrismated on November 21st, the day of the Entrance of the Theotokos.
I am Roman Catholic, my partner is Serbian Orthodox. We both partake, participate & acknowledge each other’s Holy days (feast days, slava’s, Christmas, Easter, fasting periods) Although we are aware of the difference between our two church’s, we embrace the similarities and strive to be better, Holier people together and encourage each other positively in our efforts to become closer to God and the church❤️
I'm blessed I found this video. I was raised pentecostal as a child then lost my way. Now in adulthood I had the calling from God and the Orthodox ways are what I always envisioned.
I'm a new Orthodox from a Buddhist family. I can't do most of the traditions except the prayers because my family doesn't approve. But I'll try my best to do them!
As a Catholic, I realy like your channel and your videos. Our Beliefs are so similars, that I watch your channel to know more about the Doutrine and Tradition. Um cafuné do Brasil procê.
In Greece we usually start our day with a simple phrase, while we perform the cross with the three fingers: Holy is the Father, Holy is the powerful, Holy is the immortal, have mercy on us.
The word 'love' is empty of itself, and it aught to be filled with what is removed from our ego. This is why we fast and pray. Without the self-sacrificiality (if that may be a word for now) our definition of love can easily slide into what it exactly is not. But this form of love is what the Lord Christ showed us, not only on the cross, but also in the desert and in the hades.
@@WittyComm3nter Those things are tools to remember and grow in love. They can lead to phariseeism if done wrongly or for the wrong reasons though. If they arent making you grow in love, then theyre a fruitless endeavor
I never knew that this was the religion I was baptized in - no one ever explained it like this to me and I went wandering around the world experiencing with Buddhism, Islam, new Age - I’ve had it all along 🙄 and didn’t even know it !!!
As we are now in the most chaotic time in catholic history, it is like a spring to hear about what our brother Orthodox Christians are doing. Thank you for the explanation.

I am not of the Orthodox faith, have been given some brief points of discussion through a tour through an Orthodox church. It is funny that many Christians and non- Christians hear many of these words in their own circles and assume we are saying the same thing. I really appreciate that this video broke down each point giving clear definitions and examples for each topic! Great informative video:-)
Now that I’ve been received into the Church, I came back to this video. A few weeks before I started coming to an Orthodox Church I was watching these videos. This channel is one of the things instrumental in my conversion to Orthodoxy.
So grateful you mentioned abortion. Woman in church (Orthodox) & I got in a toe to toe about the works of Planned Parenthood. I couldn't believe she was praising their work and then defending abortion. So yes...also to agree with you...we're all still sinners - including me.
I am Orthodox Christian and as I think you are from Serbia (you have that accent & name) I would like to invite you if you ever pass nearby Pančevo (My home town) on cup of coffee my Christian brother :) beeing religious myself I like to hangout with people of same interests :)
6:11 thank you for showing food as one of the main temptations of the world. I fast a lot NOW but before controlling my eating was pretty much important. Thanks be to God I can go days now without eating and I no longer binge.
This is how I grew up ... my family shows me how to participate in my religion and I am proud of it. God bless you ...you described my life in ur videos...
I stepped into an Orthodox Church for the first time this week. I went to Vespers twice and talked to the Priest after. Although I felt a bit awkward because I am not familiar with Orthodoxly I absolutely knew I was in the right place and I plan to keep going. I have been listening to you tube and reading online much of the day, trying to understand more about Orthodoxy. This video is outstanding! I learned quite a bit from it and I am feeling even more drawn in to Church lol. Thank you! PS: great job with the artwork also
I love this! You explain so clearly and objectively. The illustrations, the music and your Slavic accent make it so much fun to watch and I just love this.
Beautifully put together, I agree with 100%, this is my life what I have always been taught, and I know it is truth. Sometimes I need a refresher course. Like now, how not to fall into despair because a family member has been stricken ill through no fault of anyone 😔
Bas uzivam ove snimke. Hvala vam! Inace sam iz SADa, ali zivio sam 7 godina u Hrvatskoj kao protestanski misionar. Kao mnogi koji prate Bible Illustrated, zanima me Pravoslavlje. Zanimljivo je da sam imao Dobrotoljublje na srpskom, al sam kumu dao prije nego sto smo vratili u SAD, pa sam morao kupit ponovno na engleskom. Svida mi se vas humor, jer me podsjeca na zivot u bivsijugoslaviji, posebno to sto imate knjige viceva o crnogorcima. Volio bih razgovarat sa vama nekad. Mir i dobro!
Very very beautiful and well done! Thanks so much for using your talents to serve Gods kingdom! I'm going to share this with all my friends..esp. those who don't know what Orthodoxy is. May God bless you and your work!🌞
Praise God for you videos! I really thinking about going back to church been years I started it but didn't really get to know the people there and make friends.. Pray for my confession! It may take a long time. May our holy mother protect us. ✝
I don't know how I got here but I really must say your videos are entertaining & enlightening! The cute artwork accompanied by good narrative keep me here. Looking forward for new uploads! :)
Seventh-day Adventist for 35 years- so good beyond words to know my Father is more about answering by healing- than “ you have made Me MAD- pay up!” Dorwin Tompkins 13:42
I had to stop the video at approximately six minutes to comment on the nature of sin being considered a disease. As one, who struggles with depression and anxiety I understand this completely and ask for anyone who reads my comment to pray for those struggling with mental illness. Depression is a tricky demon who can easily cloud a man's judgement by having him focus on the negativity. Depression can distort a man's judgement to the point in which he cannot even see the narrow road of Repentance.
I completely agree and would encourage anyone struggling that it is possible in time to find healing within the church. The Church is a hospital and can use all the tools God has provided her and you with (including medicine) to bring healing.
oh hey, they actually use the legit versions of angels (with multiple and bizarre other-worldly features) and not the cliche winged humanoid version most Christians associate with. That's actually fascinating.
Orthodox icons depict angels as humans, more or less, with wings. I've never seen an icon depict an angel in another way, but then again I haven't seen every icon ever painted, obviously.
Thank you for making this❤ I have laterly started to Interest my self to orthodox, after fue month with the chatolics. I trying to find my church and God shows me many Churches 😂 this is a perect Place to start. May God Bless you 🙏💖
Glory to Jesus Christ! My wife and I are Roman Catholic, and we have three kids. We’ve been attending a Byzantine Catholic parish for nearly two years. We immediately fell in love with the Eastern Liturgy and the Byzantine tradition. Thanks for the informative and entertaining video!
I am currently living in my university's dorm room and I have set up such a beautiful icons corner. I also have the Cross, an oil candle that I light whenever I pray and an incense little tray-like that goes above my candle so I can smokelessly light up the incense. Not to forget my paryer rope and my praying books, along with the akathists of my dearest Saints 😊
