I'm a late-in-life Christian, and a convert to Orthodoxy, and my first Holy week in the Orthodox church had more spiritual significance to me than the entirety of my life, and I'm not exaggerating. I say this all the time, and I feel that only another convert or a late in life Christian can understand this, but I am grateful to God every day for allowing me to know the truth the Orthodox church teaches us after living in the darkness so long. When you have something to compare it to, this gift of the Orthodox church is all the more important to treasure. I'll never take it for granted.
Such a blessing this was recorded so many years ago! To watch this and see our family and our church brings me back to my childhood! Grateful & Blessed 🙏🙏🙏☦️☦️☦️
Amazing that the film stands up all these decades later. Lamp Unto My Feet was broadcast on CBS on Sunday mornings, along with two other network shows, "Look Up and Live," another religious show, and "Camera Three" which was a fine arts program often showing a theater presentation or interviewing an author. By its end in the 1970s, most CBS affiliates wanted Sunday mornings for paid religious shows or kiddie shows, and stopped running Lamp.
How cool that Orthodoxy once had some introduction in the popular culture. It's evident from the host's narration that the fundamental elements of the Christian story were, at that time, widely known and accepted in our society. It would be good for young people to see this, and realize it was once this way....
Very inspiring. Thank you, Jesus, for saving us.

I watch the Russian Orthodox service at Christmas, no comparison to anything in the west. True spiritual feeling.
Easter also.
Words simply don’t do it justice. Praise God.
Glory to your forbearance O Lord Glory to thee 🛐☦️💜

Don't figure out my age, but I remember these programs.

My God , How things have changed. People would lose their minds if this broadcasted on CBS today.
An absolute blast from the past, you love to see it.
I remember this TV show years ago in 1953
marvellous chanter and choir. thank you.
Beautiful service!

Good service still the same
We need to come back to these reverent ways.
Blessed liturgy

Wait... So the orthodox church was more technicality advanced in the past than now?
