Home Altar 101

Thanks for your insights, God bless you Father. 🙏🏻☦

This little incense pan above your vigil lamp is a beautiful idea. Did you make that on your own or can I purchase it somewhere?

love the hair! Wish more clergy in the west adopted it!

This was very helpful may God bless all. Jesus loves u.

Fr. bless.
Can you link where to buy the the cloths for icon corner tables?

I think the best prayer book to use, is the one used in the church you attend. You then become very familiar with the translation and can more easily learns prayers, psalms etc by heart. ☦️

What’s the difference between the 1960 Jordanville prayer book and the modern one?

I don't mean any disrespect, but can I ask what faith or religion this is about. It sounds catholic to me. But I just started my path so I'm not familiar with all the terms and everything. Again forgive me please if I was rude.

What great information, Thank you ...

I miss Lompoc!

This is not anthiochean tradition.

Great! Thanks for sharing!!!

I want 4 Prayer corners in my room :) representing the four corners of the earth and the 4 archangels. My creative side is going nuts haha, almost want to invest in a smaller bed so i have more room lol!

Thank you Father. This was very informative. God Bless you!

What's called the first red prayer book?

Why is so differcult for an orthodox to purchase .we as christians are not willing

Father how did you spiral bind your Jordanville?

Very usefull video! Thanks you ! Christ is risen ! Greetings from Romania. 🙏❤️

That Theotokos icon behind you is wonderfully endearing (the blue background is special). Is it custom?
Thank you for this video (I'm very new and learning).
Lord Jesus Christ Have Mercy on Us All 🙏🏻

Man, I wish there were more videos to this channel. I've been a Protestant for 32 years and am moving toward Orthodoxy. I'm watching and reading anything I can on the subject. Thanks for this, Father. I'll subscribe just in case you pop up again 😂

More videos please!

Would it be ok for non clergy to own a swinging censor and a blessing cross?

Even priests are doing upspeak, dear lord.

🙏🙏🙏.

Where can I buy hand painted icons???

Father John!
Amazing to see you. We corresponded a bit long before your priesthood when you were at DTTW. You sent me magazines and a few icons. Always cherished that.

God bless you!

Father, Bless. Thank you for going over the needed items for our Icon corners.

Very similar to the ANCESTRAL ALTAR that I had in my home when I practiced Voodoo before my conversion to Christ.

This is so helpful and interesting. I am a convert, and there is still a lot I don't know. Thank you!

based ✋🏻

I really enjoyed this video Fr. I’m Roman Catholic but I really want to be a part of the eastern Byzantine Greek/Russian Orthodox Church. I follow as much as I can online though I find the words used in orthodox difficult to remember or even to learn their meaning.

Great stuff brother!

How about having people read the Bible’ that would be the 1st before any other book 📕leads us to all other books.BUT not the book of God our Lord am just speaking truth

Do you allow vaxed hybrids to receive Holly Comunion?

Is this a greek orthodox church in the US? If not you should be american orthodox church if you are not greek since orthodox churches are national.

I had a Greek Orthodox father and an Irish Catholic mother. Best of both worlds.
Can anyone explain, why in my whole life I have never met a Greek Orthodox Christian named Timothy or Matthew (my brother's name)?
Yet,so common among the Irish, despite the fact they are Greek name.
Ma Theos and Timi Theos Just curious.

Thank you for this video.

I have COPD. Chronic obstructed pulmonary disease.😢

Thank you Father!

Please pray for my wife Cathy. She's against Orthodoxy.

My Orthodox brothers are amazing! I LOVE the icons.

The icon of the blessed Theotokos shown behind you is one that i really would prefer- where can i purchase a copy of this one? It is also in my Orthodox Study Bible ❤ thank you

Man, I realy wish everyone knew how hard it is to be a monk. Women be crazy stupid.

And no offense butt what the hell?¿?????

why put links up that neither work or are the wrong links..annoying...why bother?

Anyone know where I can get that Athonite Charcoal Powder? I cannot find it anywhere

I'm in shock, to be honest. I started to listen a lot about Christian Orthodoxy, I told my mother I wanted to convert, but because I live in another country. I'll be away from home for a couple of months, I'm studying by myself before I start connecting with a church. My mother brought me two icons from her holidays as a present: Jesus Christ and Holy Theotokos. I put it on my bedroom in a corner and started praying there. Then I thought to myself, without any knowledge, I'm listening to very basic videos because I was raised a Buddhist. I don't know why, but I feel I need a candle. So I put a really nice one that I had that I had never used, and I was using it for a special occasion. I bought the OSB because I never read The Bible. I tried with other editions, and it was hard. It is an amazing edition because it has a lot of notes and guidance, which I need, and Included it there. Everything is by instinct. Thank you for this. I'm just surprised how my natural intuition after praying made me think of this without ever knowing that you recommend having a house icon and altar corner.
