I am a Hindu boy from India but have been learning about Orthodoxy from TH-cam and your videos which are really helpful. How I wish I could learn the Orthdox Christian way of life in the perfect way and be a monk.
God willing it will happen my friend. Just keep learning about the Faith and try to find an Eastern Orthodox Church near to you
GOD Bless you brother! May the peace of the LORD JESUS CHRIST be always with you. ☦️♥️~Remember Dear brother, that with GOD all things are possible~
May the Lord Who made you, loves you, & is calling you save you & us all. May He bring into His Body as He has us. May you & we be His unto the ages of ages, i.e., eternally.
Our saints said that after ww3 the one, true Faith will be preached throughout the world & many from every tribe, nation, race, & ethnic, religious, linguistic group will, like Cornelius in Holy Scripture, be received into His Body to flow as gold to Him, on the Last Day.
On that Day, May you & we be His & like Him. Amin.
You can contact Fr. Clement, an Indian priest of the Russian Orthodox Church. He lives near Nagpur. This is the Orthodox channel with Hindi videos.
We know from our saints that there will soon be a terrible, general war. The human population will be significantly reduced (before & during the war). But all who survive will hear the true gospel preached. Those with a good disposition will receive it & be baptized into Christ, that is, into His Body, the one, true Church, the Orthodox Church. If you are not able to be received sooner, then may you survive the famine, disease, war... to be baptized into Christ after the coming general war, which will be followed by about 3 decades of peace & prosperity. After the war, there will be the 8th & final Ecumenical Council, which will clarify all the confusion that has (that is, all the heresies that have) arisen since the 7th EC. As the Lord said The End will not come until the true gospel is preached throughout the world.
Today is the Ascension day ☦️🙏 God bless you
watching from Belgrade Serbia, visited St. Mark's church yesterday. learning more about Orthodox and want to know how to do this correctly.
This is an important video to watch as the sign of the cross is an important step in the reverence towards God in blessing ourselves and protecting ourselves from evil and temptations.
Exactly !
Father, thanks so much for this instruction guide. I have learned from my mistakes and will use this knowledge moving forward.
Hello Father, I am dyspraxic and find it hard to do the sign of the cross as it looks very clumsy even though I am trying my best. I come from a Western tradition and have been trying to adopt the Orthodox way of making the sign of the cross.
god will reward you for your struggles and see your struggle. He is all forgiving and accepting, as long as your heart is with it. God bless you, I’m also Dyspraxic, I’m 25 years of age and have exercises I do to make it easier. Firstly, get a stress ball, squeeze it about 15-20 times throughout the day. If your hands get tired stop and have a break. Now relax your hands, make the hand position of the sign of the cross and then stretch your hands out again. Keep repeating this, just use the three fingers used to do this. So sorry I only saw your message, I hope it helps.
@@iCarryBoatsAndTheLogs Thank you for your helpful advice.
☦️☦️☦️ Amen!!!
Amen
The sign of the cross of the old believers was actually the one done in Byzantium not this one. This is a strange reform from Nikon
And how is it done
@@user-ns3sx2ee9gthumb, pinky and ring finger touching each other. Index and middle finger straight up.
@@user-we5sp1yt1qThank you I heard A russian patriarch agressively reformed many things about russian church Does difference between this hand gestures have anything to do with that ? Also do you think by any chance hippies stole this
Why do Coptic Orthodox when making the sign of the cross go from forehead to stomach left to right where as the Eastern Orthodox go right to left.
Coptics do it wrong, we have always done it from right to left as even the RC’s use to as well
They do the cross sign as if they are facing jesus on the cross .. eastern do it as they have the cross behind them,, same meaning different perspektiv@@andreastheo2019
From what I am told the west also did the sign of the cross from left to right but as some point they changed course.
You mean from right to left.?
@@thisistheway7529 yes
Love this
Show this video to Brother Augustine
Why?
@@nikolaj3783 Maybe because he makes the Sign of the Cross wrong sometimes.
@@Bogzi840 ah okay thanks
From a member of the OE team: It's probably just the way the video is presented, not that he is actually making the sign of the cross wrong. This happens sometimes.
@@OrthodoxEthosBro how about acusations that this sighn is actualy pentagram. If you do it from right to left . If you folowe your hand from start to the end you got pentagram, pagan simbol...???
I once saw a video or read somewhere about the meaning of making the sign of the cross. it was from a saint. has anyone else seen or read about this.
Father...this way of crossing is a modern reform from Nikon. The Bizantin original way of crossing with the 2 nature's of Christ in the cross is the old believers way. You should know that. With this new way you cross the trinity and not Christ its so evident.
what if someone does it into other directions, or more, how would such person be seen in church?
It depends on the people who spot it. Responses may differ from none to correcting you on the spot. Once I noticed one person not making Orthodox way sign of the cross I did nothing but was observing ppl approaching communion to make sure that person is not in line... and would have probably alerted priest telling him to verify if that person is in fact Orthodox or not. Luckily, he was not in line and I ended doing overall nothing.
Forgive me for asking Fr.
Is it offensive to do the sign of the cross if I am not part of the church yet?
If you do it with prayer and reverence, there is no problem. We were all catechumens once....
If you take Jesus as your only Lord and believe in the Trinitarian God then you will be blessed.
Is it misappropriate for non orthodox to learn and do it?
if you’re not, you should not do it IN MY OPINION
Yeah nobody objects christians should not do cross sign except the only protestants. Non-chalcedonians, orthodox, catholics all do different cross signs: three fingers, five, one, two, whole hand, tell why exactly three and none of the others?
3 for the Trinity and other 2 fingers, stand for natures of Christ(Divine and Human)
@@andreastheo2019 yeah but why? Why not two for Jesus Christ two natures and other three for Trinity? It is Jesus Christ was crucified not Trinity.
Three finger cross is invented in Catholic church, is a new cross sign, adopted by Greek Church in 1445 through Ferraro-Florence ecumenist council with Pope! Orthodox Church is still in ecumenism with Pope!
@@georgi7590 we do that I said it’s three fingers and 2 on bottom for Christ’s natures…the Catholics use to do it like us but changed in 1500s
@@georgi7590 man three finger cross is ancient Orthodox tradition bud, the Catholics changed it from us in 1500s with their Pope Gregory
Why from right to the left
No answer jet?
@@thisistheway7529 Because the Lord separated the sheep from the goats, putting the faithful sheep on His right side, and the goats on the left, the Church always treats the right side as the preferred side.
