Thank you for your kind words! And thank you for sharing! You must have a lot of courage and love for Christ to convert from Islam to Christianity! That must have been a difficult journey! I wish you all the best, dear sister in Christ! ! God bless you and help you!
I grew up Protestant. I have been attending Orthodox Church. I love it. After researching and reading I believe it is the one true ancient form of Christianity. Blessings to you and your family.
Former lifelong atheist here. I believe that you cannot seriously read about theology and church history without coming to the conclusion that the Eastern Orthodox Church is the one true church. God Bless, brother.
I am from Malankara (Indian) Orthodox Church in India.Thanks for sharing faith, traditions and teachings of the Holy Armenian Orthodox church. God bless you.
Hi I’m a Syrian orthodox Christians from Kerala South Asia we are one of the ancient Christian settlements in the world. We are Keralites we were colonized by Indian union and now holding Indian nationality
I am Orthodox Tewahdo from Eritrea 🇪🇷 God bless you. Thank you for sharing your acquaintance of Christianity life. So it's great experiences of prayers and blessed way of lifetime.
Hi 👋 I’m from the Ethiopian Orthodox Church as well, and our churches share a deep and rich tradition with many similar rituals and practices. It’s wonderful to hear your beautiful explanation of our church rituals and traditions. Thank you for sharing our rich heritage with the rest of the world. Your efforts help others appreciate the depth and beauty of our faith. May God bless you and your family. Please remember me in your prayers.
Ethiopian Orthodox Church is almost the same too. love the blessed bread, the holy water, the incense, the holy books, sunday school, weekend mass and priests incensr, raising the children through faith, the icons at your homes prayer place, and Christian writers. We have them too in Ethiopia. God Bless you. Lots of love.
Lots of love for you as Eritrean Orthodox christian, thank you for sharing your spritually blessing Christian practices with us! I truly appreciate your devotion to your Orthodox faith and your love for God. May God continue to guide and be with you always, now and forevermore. Amen!"
I am Joseph Paul Cristian Orthodox from India, Kerala, I am wondoring that you are a perfect follower of Orthodox believes. God bless you. I appreciate your Mummy who put deep believes in you.
Lovely explanations! My family are converts from Protestant to Orthodox. I have been Orthodox 30 years now. My daughter has 10 children (7 adopted) and her home has a central family prayer ‘corner’. The children have created their own prayer space in their rooms. My son-in-law built a chapel in the back yard for my daughter to retreat to for quiet prayer. It is lovely. I have a few friends that have the hours on their cellphones. The bells ring on the hour and the reading shows up (conveniently). Audiobook format would work (I have a reading disability and can only do audiobooks). If you read Russian, look for my daughter’s book The Ascetic Lives of Mothers by Annalisa Boyd (a prayer book) published by Ancient Faith Publishing but published in Russia and released in other languages.
I am Ethiopian Orthodox and we are so alike. almost we do the same. when I see the prosphora you put in your flour we do such things but not exactly that, We also bring small pebbles from the prayer area, Where we are baptized and add them to our flour (tef) container. We do this so that our food will be blessed.
God bless you my sister in faith. Ethiopian Orthodox Christian here. Let continue to pray for our global nation. Praying for our Orthodox Christians who are being oppressed. May our creator give us strength and power to pray off all Demonic energies. I pray that our children are protected from the confusion and violent of the world. Amen Amen Amen❤🇪🇹
Greetings from Melbourne Australia. I belong to Indian orthodox ( malankara) church. God bless you and your family. Very impressive what you are doing.
Orthodox Christian from Eritrea, I loved your presentation of an Orthodox Christian living home, we are all alike thanks to the Fathers that secured our Religion alive for so many years. May GOD always bless your Familiy and Home.
I'm Orthodox christian from Eritrea . I really appreciate what you have and God bless Us and the whole world .at last Let me being one unite together .
Im an Ethiopian Orthodox and I really love your presentation as an oriental Orthodox follower we share a lot common practices. St Arstema/Hrisipme is so famous in Ethiopia with a lot of miracles and blessings in her name. God bless you
I am Romanian but I attend an Antiochian Church. We have such a diverse congregation, coming from so many backgrounds and it is a true Blessing. I love your explanation of your Orthodox home.
I am Eritrean Orthodox Christian. I don't recognize the salt. I want to thank you for telling the Orthodox Christian tradtion and thier meanings. God bless you and your family.

I am an Ethiopian Orthodox Monk. I appreciate your spiritual activity. i think your home is a littel Church! So, Our Lord Jesus Christ bless you and your family! Thank you for sharing us your impressive!
hi there! love from Ethiopia .since we are in the same church I can see the resemblance for example here the church fathers come and bless hour home too but they only use water and sometimes holy incense (but only the church father put the incense I don't know how they allow you to do this your self there b/c this is a religion practices with a meaning so that is why only the church father offer the incense to god just like the old days) other resemblance is the prayer corner of course it's preferred to have a prayer room if they have one but if not the prayer corner will do fine. and the other thing is the book you mentioned the prayer book is the other resemblance I see. Any how I am very happy you post this and looking forward to see what other common religious practice we have .may god be with you and your family and don't forget to put Ethiopia in your next visiting list believe me you won't regrate it and you will have a chance to see what you only read in book with you own eye
Hi! Thank you so much for sharing! It is great to know that our traditions are so alike! Regarding the incense burning, in Armenian church and in Eastern Orthodox churches it is a common practice for the faithful to burn incense at home. It is considered, that incense not only carries our prayers to God, but it also cleanses and purifies our homes. Ethiopia is definitely on my travel list! I have an Ethiopian church near me and I frequently go there to pray. I admire your tradition of taking off shoes before entering the church. I also love how beautiful parishioners look in their special church attire, women wearing long white veils. And the church itself is very unique! I would love to see some old Ethiopian churches!
I'm from Ethiopia orthodox tewahwdo church. so many of the things you talked about are the same here except some, like the salt or prosphora. we say gods name wherever we open food or do any work( i forget to do it often though😅). i thank god and you for your content🙏🏻
Please do more Orthodox videos. I am Roman Catholic but have been attending an Orthodox church as a catechumen. I love your videos, they are simple, yet profound and spiritual. I love them. Even how you have blessed things to cook with. It's so special.
Thank you for your kind words and for your encouragement! I will do my best. Currently working on three more videos. I really hope you will enjoy them!
@TaraandSky learn and know the traditions of our Catholic faith. What Holasona is showing is not different than what we also do or should be doing. I recommend you try attending a Latin Mass if you haven’t already. My home is stockpiled with all the Sacramentals that’s on this video and more. Do you have holy water font by your front door and bless yourself as you leave, for example. Good Friday oil another example. Every morning I wake up before my family, light a candle and bless EVERY room (while they are sleeping) making a sign of the cross with my candle, starting from my front door asking for blessings upon my family and protection. Ave Maria 🕊 Pax Christi 🕊✝️✝️
You can find these in the Roman Catholic Church. Yes, find a Latin traditional parish. Confraternity of St Peter. look deeply into the true tradition within the Roman Catholic Church first before you settle somewhere else ❤ God bless you
@@gloriaa.2442 The Latin church is just not the same. I'd recommend a Byzantine Catholic church but they are not widespread. There are more Orthodox churches than Eastern Catholic churches.
I am an Orthodox Christian from Ethiopia (Ethiopian Orthodox Christian ) At this channel I found lots of Orthodox Christians from worldwide and I am gland to see all of you ❤
I am from the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, and I can confirm that many of the practices you mentioned are also present in our church. These practices are truly blessed and help us feel closer to God. Thank you for your informative video
Thank you for sharing us,I am Ethiopian Orthodox Church member, what I am very proud and learn of it is all world orthodox churches all most the same way we worship Thank you again
It's not a matter of being proud. Catholicism is a beautiful faith. But through my studies I have found I prefer the older Catholicism. The pre-Vatican II Catholicism. And the more I learn, the further back I hope to go. Orthodoxy, from what I understand, practices now very much like it was practiced before the schism. I won't apologize for seeking to draw closer to Christ and faith.
@@itsjustme0123 Why not join the group as the SSPX, Ecclesia Dei orders or Eastern Catholic rites? Orthodoxy is beautiful, but I wouldn't say they practice the Catholic Faith as the Church did pre-Vatican II. Praying for the best on your spiritual path toward the Most Holy Trinity.
Do you have a Byzantine parish near you? I am Roman Catholic/Latin Rite, but have recently been attending my local Byzantine parish and I'm in love with it! I've been disheartened by the post-Vatican II church too, and I'm not as comfortable with the Latin Mass community, as much as the liturgy is beautiful. But I'm finding the Byzantine Rite to be a beautiful combination of the unity of Rome, with the compassion and philosophy of Eastern Christianity! I've been listening to the What God is Not podcast with Mother Natalia and Fr. Michael O'Loughlin, too :)
I’m an Orthodox Christian from Ethiopia. God bless you and your family. very educative keep sharing your experience like this. Also come to Ethiopia to be blessed by the true cross and many wholly places
God bless you much. I am also an Orthodox Tewahdo Christian, am excited so far we have similar experiences. God bless you sister, keep up your faith strong. Thanks!
I am a Greek Orthodox and i love your videos . We share the same beliefs and practices .I share your videos with my friends who are not Christian so they can understand me better . For example name day 😊
I’m a catholic mom of a nine year old son. We pray before mealtime, we do have some crucifixes in our home and some icons (my husband loves them a lot). We are all active in our church, my son is an altar boy, I am a psalmist (singing from the psalms after each reading of the Old Testament) and my husband is the one preparing church for services and cleaning everything up after masses. My son has a little basin for holy water in his room. (Dried up, thanks for the reminder!) We don’t have as many traditions regarding bread, salt and things that connect the divine to daily life. I love that in your home with the blessed salt. I would love that very much. Again, all the best to you kids, may they be healthy very soon again!
We also have oil, salt, water blessed at church or when a priest visits (also crucifixes, holly images and holly medals). We can have water, salt exorcized and medal of St Benedict.
I am from Eritrean orthodox tewahedo church, your faith traditions and holy practices are very interesting almost similar traditions with our traditions. The Almighty God bless your family. keep
more than 80 million Ethiopian orthodox Christians also exercise the same thing except the salt part and before we take holy communion .... we have to confess to a priest each and every time and it has a lot of processes before one is ready to take the holy communion, other than that we all are the same ...the way you articulate in your video about orthodox Christian was really sensational thanks for sharing with us God Bless you and your family... keep on doing what you are doing and tell the world the Blessing of God is always up on us
I’m a Catholic and we do of the same things. We have a home “altar” with icons and incense. We get our house blessed once a year, although in a different way. I love the idea of blessing salt. I’ll have to ask my priest if he can do that. We have prayers every three hours, but we aren’t obligated to do them if you haven’t done any vows.
Praying for you to come to your sanity and revert back to the one and only true church of our God! No one can learn about Christianity and not understand that Eastern Orthodoxy is the one and only true religion, untouched by human!
I am from Eritrean Orhodox. Your time giving for pray is very teaching! Pray pray and pray, my house is a full of prayer as possible as 24 /7 , tnk God
I loved your video. I'm a Roman Catholic from India. You are blessed to be a mom of 3 young children. And your family is blessed to have you bringing them up in the traditions of your faith. I too have enjoyed doing similar things similar for my family, when my children were younger blending Roman catholic and local Indian traditions. Keep doing your beautiful and inspirational things for your family. And stay blessed .
Praying for you to come to your sanity and revert back to the one and only true church of our God! No one can learn about Christianity and not understand that Eastern Orthodoxy is the one and only true religion, untouched by human!
Thank you for sharing your faith! I am also a mother of 3 but was born to protestant missionary parents. we lived in eastern Europe and the middle east when I was young (although im american) and I have become so drawn to orthodoxy and have begun attending my local orthodox church. It's wonderful to see your videos and how you express your faith and pray for your family. Mothers are a truly special gift and strong pillar of the family. Your husband and children will have such fond memories of you praying 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for your kind words! And thank you for sharing your story! It’s so beautiful! I pray God helps you on your journey of motherhood and Orthodox Christianity!
May God bless you and your home my sister in Christ. I'm from Ethiopian orthodox church we do most of the things you listed and i find the others fascinating to try.

My family are converts from Protestant to Orthodox. I have been Orthodox 30 years now.
My daughter has 10 children (7 adopted) and her home has a central family prayer ‘corner’. The children have created their own prayer space in their rooms.
My son-in-law built a chapel in the back yard for my daughter to retreat to for quiet prayer. It is lovely.
I have a few friends that have the hours on their cellphones. The bells ring on the hour and the reading shows up (conveniently).
Audiobook format would work (I have a reading disability and can only do audiobooks).
If you read Russian, look for my daughter’s book The Ascetic Lives of Mothers by Annalisa Boyd (a prayer book) published by Ancient Faith Publishing but published in Russia and released in other languages.

Do you have a Byzantine parish near you? I am Roman Catholic/Latin Rite, but have recently been attending my local Byzantine parish and I'm in love with it! I've been disheartened by the post-Vatican II church too, and I'm not as comfortable with the Latin Mass community, as much as the liturgy is beautiful. But I'm finding the Byzantine Rite to be a beautiful combination of the unity of Rome, with the compassion and philosophy of Eastern Christianity! I've been listening to the What God is Not podcast with Mother Natalia and Fr. Michael O'Loughlin, too :)
I’m an Orthodox Christian from Ethiopia. God bless you and your family. very educative keep sharing your experience like this. Also come to Ethiopia to be blessed by the true cross and many wholly places
Thank you, dear brother in Christ! God bless you too! I would love to come to Ethiopia! I heard many wonderful things about it!

God bless you much. I am also an Orthodox Tewahdo Christian, am excited so far we have similar experiences. God bless you sister, keep up your faith strong. Thanks!
Thank you so much! God bless you too!
Sending greetings and lots of love 💕 from Oriental orthodox (Ethiopian Orthodox Christian) sister
I am a Greek Orthodox and i love your videos . We share the same beliefs and practices .I share your videos with my friends who are not Christian so they can understand me better . For example name day 😊
Thank you for your kind words! And thank you for sharing the video! I am glad it was helpful!
I’m a catholic mom of a nine year old son. We pray before mealtime, we do have some crucifixes in our home and some icons (my husband loves them a lot). We are all active in our church, my son is an altar boy, I am a psalmist (singing from the psalms after each reading of the Old Testament) and my husband is the one preparing church for services and cleaning everything up after masses. My son has a little basin for holy water in his room. (Dried up, thanks for the reminder!) We don’t have as many traditions regarding bread, salt and things that connect the divine to daily life. I love that in your home with the blessed salt. I would love that very much.
Again, all the best to you kids, may they be healthy very soon again!
Seems youre ashamed of the "icons"
@@JiseRivera no, that’s a misconception. I am completely unashamed of any religious symbol in our home.
Thank you so much for sharing! I love that your whole family is so involved with the church! God bless you!
We also have oil, salt, water blessed at church or when a priest visits (also crucifixes, holly images and holly medals). We can have water, salt exorcized and medal of St Benedict.
Lots of love from a Coptic Orthodox here 😊

God bless you I'm Orthodox Christian from Ethiopia
Thank you for watching! God bless you too!
I am from Ethiopian Orthodox and we have almost similar am very excited on the message you shared keep up and may the Jehovah be with you
more than 80 million Ethiopian orthodox Christians also exercise the same thing except the salt part and before we take holy communion .... we have to confess to a priest each and every time and it has a lot of processes before one is ready to take the holy communion, other than that we all are the same ...the way you articulate in your video about orthodox Christian was really sensational thanks for sharing with us God Bless you and your family... keep on doing what you are doing and tell the world the Blessing of God is always up on us
Thank you so much for your kind words! And thank you for sharing! God bless you too!
I’m a Catholic and we do of the same things. We have a home “altar” with icons and incense. We get our house blessed once a year, although in a different way. I love the idea of blessing salt. I’ll have to ask my priest if he can do that. We have prayers every three hours, but we aren’t obligated to do them if you haven’t done any vows.
Thank you for sharing! I am glad we have so many similar traditions!
I’m a Jew but this video has kept popping up on my feed and finally watched very interesting to see some similarities G-D bless ❤
Jesus is our favorite & perfect Jew❤❤❤ much love to you❤
Praying for you to come to your sanity and revert back to the one and only true church of our God! No one can learn about Christianity and not understand that Eastern Orthodoxy is the one and only true religion, untouched by human!
I am from Eritrean Orhodox. Your time giving for pray is very teaching! Pray pray and pray, my house is a full of prayer as possible as 24 /7 , tnk God

I loved your video. I'm a Roman Catholic from India. You are blessed to be a mom of 3 young children. And your family is blessed to have you bringing them up in the traditions of your faith. I too have enjoyed doing similar things similar for my family, when my children were younger blending Roman catholic and local Indian traditions. Keep doing your beautiful and inspirational things for your family. And stay blessed .
Thank you for your kind words! And thank you for sharing!

Thank you for sharing your faith! I am also a mother of 3 but was born to protestant missionary parents. we lived in eastern Europe and the middle east when I was young (although im american) and I have become so drawn to orthodoxy and have begun attending my local orthodox church. It's wonderful to see your videos and how you express your faith and pray for your family. Mothers are a truly special gift and strong pillar of the family. Your husband and children will have such fond memories of you praying 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for your kind words! And thank you for sharing your story! It’s so beautiful! I pray God helps you on your journey of motherhood and Orthodox Christianity!
Tnx And It Is Almost The Same.
