Introduction to the Divine Liturgy

A brief look at what happens in the ancient Orthodox Divine Liturgy, as well as a few things to expect when you visit. The Liturgy might be the biggest subject this channel has covered, and it is an impossible topic to cover properly in a video. The absolute best (and only) way to learn about it is to COME AND SEE. Visit an Orthodox Church.
