To the Irish, many blessings on your patronal feast! And one more thing to celebrate about it: 1830 hours will be the 2nd anniversary of my last cigarette.

That greek chant is absolutely gorgeous (so is the church). I long for the day we can learn to do that in our church. For now I will have to enjoy the Melkites'.

Irena, Welcome to the forum. First, let me ask that you take your time in exploring the East. Beyond what you've read about here and heard about elsewhere, it sounds as though your real life exposure to it has been little to none. There is a cave

For the record, I tried a shrimp taco this evening (Tuesday) and they are pretty good. Thank you Fr. Deacon for the clarification. I makes me feel better about the West's convictions.

Doro, Actually, fish and eggs are not acceptable substitutes in the east. Sandwiches are not usually an option either as bread contains oil or butter or both. For me a nice salad with capers, olives, crab and/or shrimp and balsamic vinegar hits th

I think it is wonderful that you have found a road that is so spiritually fulfilling. My father's family is Ukrainian Byzantine while my mother's side is Latin Rite. Both my wife and I were raised Roman (I mostly because of the lack of Eastern chur

I took a course at St. Tikhon's a few years back. Will that get me anything in Greece-like maybe a vacation on the Greek Islands, which my wife so desparately wants?

Fr. Brendon, That the Lord might or might not have been tempted is irrelevant to what Elton John stated. Elton John accused the Savior of being homosexual, he did not speak in terms of temptation. Your question is also misconstructed. Homosexuality

Thanks for the comments and I'd welcome more about this. An additional question: you mentioned metered music in reference to the Holy Transfiguration Horologion. Can the Melkite Horologion and Publicans Prayer Book be chanted easily?
