I am a Hungarian Byzantine Catholic, and it is great to hear that orthodoxes do not hate us, because sadly that's what we're used to, eve though there aren't many differences in our lives, religion and faith.
I attended a Byzantine Rite church growing up and through college. I am amazed how much of the Liturgy I can still sing from memory in Church Slavonic and I am Irish. I maintain a deep love of the liturgy.
I am a Catholic of the Byzantine rite from Transcarpathia. Greetings from the Mukachevo Greek Catholic Diocese. The choir sings very well, in the tradition that we have in Ukraine.
Grew up hearing this, could sing along not fully knowing what I was singing but knew it was Godly. Miss it so much. My Byzantine church is almost exclusively English.
Thanks for your comment. Some churches are trying to bring back some Slavonic into the Liturgy, but mostly english. I grew up with Slavonic and I really miss it a lot.
When I’m in college I attend the FSSP’s church in Providence RI, where the mass and sacraments are given in Latin. I understand that the eastern liturgies have historically been adapted to the native language because they are so much more verbose than the Latin Rite, but I still think retaining the ancient language does so much supernatural good and also does the added natural good of retaining a unique Ruthenian ethnic identity. I hope this beautiful language in more often heard in Divine Liturgies in America and that the Ruthenian Church has many converts and vocations attached to that great history.
The Rusyns, Orthodox and Greek-Catholic, have the most beautiful chant tones in all of Eastern Christendom. I have a fantasy that the local ACROD parish would let me sing in their Saturday night vespers choir. I'm a Protestant, so I don't know if a) non-Orthodox people are allowed to join the choir, b) if they even have a choir at the vespers service Saturday night, or c) if I'd be any good.
@@Canonicisme Or perhaps I can introduce the Eastern Church to the Scottish Metrical Psalter! Traditionally sung a cappella, just like Eastern liturgical music.
Thanks for your reply. This was recored right before the shut down. Some of our churches have altar servers but not all. We are very lucky to have priests. We are very short handed at the present time.
Greeting from the Metro Detroit area. In particular St. Stephen's Byzantine Church in Allen Park, Mi. We no longer have a Slavonic Liturgy. I do miss it. You a beautiful voices in your choir. CHRIST IS AMONG US! VIC
He Is and shall BE thanks for your kind words. I will pass the note onto the cantor and choir director. My church is St. Mary's Byzantine in Hazleton PA. Fr. Peter Donish is our Pastor.
I was baptized in the Catholic Church at ten. I converted to the Orthodox Church in America when I was twenty eight. Now I came back to the Catholic Church. I like this Slavonic Divine Liturgy.
Church Slavonic is much closer to other Slavic languages than Latin, so while no one speaks it, it isn't hard to understand for Slavs, especially if they grew up with divine liturgies in the language
No it is not a dead language. Slavonic Liturgies are very common in our Byzantine Rite. Slovak is spoken by many of our parishioners. Many of our new priests who are coming from the Ukraine speak this language. More and more people are trying to learn and speak this language once again. I feel it is making a great come back.
Slavonic language is the church language as the Latin. It is not local to any specific country. It is the church language for all Slavonic people. Do your search.
Of course not. The Byzantine Liturgy in the Orthodox Church and Greek Catholic Church is celebrated in many languages, also in the Slavic world. Even in the very conservative Serbian Church, the Serbian language is used.
I’m a Roman Catholic and I think I’m done with it and will switch to the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. I cannot stand the fake sentimental music of the Roman Catholic mass with its piano and acoustic guitars, drives me nuts.
I am Eastern Orthodox and love my Catholic Byzantine Brothers & Sisters.
Thank you for your kind words and views
I find the Rusyn way of singing the Liturgy particularly moving.

I am a byzantine canto in Granville , NY I miss our church. The diocese closed it in 2011. Thank you for sharing!
I'm Roman rite, but I love the Eastern catholics.
Wonderful thanks for the comment
Thank you for such a beautiful sung Divine Liturgy - I'm Ukrainian Catholic

@@fayockphotography4367 may I ask where this beautiful church is located?
Glory to Jesus Christ!
Beautiful!
Thank you for your kind words Christ IS Born! Glorify Him! Christos Razdaetska! Slavite Jeho!
I attended Saint Spyrdion Greek Orthodox Church San Diego and I’m in the choir
Wonderful thanks for your comment and dedication to the choir
This mass was absolutely beautiful! Thank you.
It's a Divine Liturgy. Although basically the same with a Mass, they have different names, Mass being Catholic, Divine Liturgy being Orthodox.
@@Michail_Chatziasemidis This Divine Liturgy was Catholic
@@Michail_Chatziasemidis this is also an Eastern Catholic Church. The Divine Liturgy is also Catholic.
Glad to see the Church has been improved.

I'm sure they would be happy for you to join them. Try and let us know!!! Thanks
@@fayockphotography4367 Thank you for the encouragement.
However you should not protest too much during the chants, otherwise you are out :))))

Hooray!
Strange to see no altar servers, even during the pandemic.

@@fayockphotography4367 Hopefully you can also get deacons as well. The Divine Liturgy feels incomplete without them.
Beautiful liturgy!! Where are you located?
Thank you!!! St. Mary's Byzantine Catholic Church is locate in Taylor, PA. Northest PA near Scranton, PA

is church slavonic like latin? That is, is it a 'dead' language that's not readily understood?

As a Russian , I can understand almost 80% of Church Slavonic, but has always been a ‘written’ language ie nobody speaks it
@@fayockphotography4367 Slovak? Potom pozdravujem zo Slovenska! God bless you all.
Church Slavonic language is very much Russian language.
Is this mass online daily? Live
Thanks for asking, this Liturgy is offered once a month on a Thursday night, in Taylor PA
@@fayockphotography4367 how can I access this
@@pauleahayko4441 Good Morning I do not think they livestream the Liturgy You can call St. Mary's in Taylor PA and ask them.

Why don't you make it clear in your title that this is a Uniate liturgy?
That word is about as outdated as your views
@@briandelaney9710 sorry, I meant to say "papist heretic subverter" liturgy
Byzantine is correct proper title
Right
@@briandelaney9710
No incense, very surprised
get out of here thats my wife's church
They poke along way too slow
Looks like the Novus Ordo got a hold of this rite …
Why do you say that!?
I concur
Yeah too modern tabernacle
Priest does it beatufully
To other Slavs the language may be "Ghurch Slavonic". No problem with that. To me it is 9th century Bulgarian.
