The Divine Liturgy is the heart of Orthodox Christian life — a meeting between Heaven and Earth.

Many who attend for the first time are struck by its beauty, mystery, and reverence. Yet, it can also feel unfamiliar.

This discussion is for those who want to understand what truly happens during the Liturgy:

• What is the meaning of the prayers, incense, and icons?

• Why do we stand so much during the service?

• How should one prepare to receive Holy Communion?

🌿 Let’s talk about:

• The structure of the Liturgy (Proskomedia, Liturgy of the Word, Liturgy of the Faithful)

• The role of the priest, choir, and congregation

• The inner spiritual experience of worship
