Orthodox Christians also make the sign of the cross, but their method is slightly different from Roman Catholics. They usually use three fingers (thumb, index, and middle finger) brought together to symbolize the Holy Trinity. The motion goes from the forehead to the chest, then from the right shoulder to the left (opposite to the Roman Catholic tradition). This is a distinctive practice in Orthodox Christianity, rooted in their beliefs and rituals. Thank you for asking, this is a great idea for expanding the video in the future!
That's a great point! It would have been interesting to explore the different customs of the Popes, especially with such a rich variety of Italian, Polish, German, and Argentinian influences. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
maybe you should mention the denomination for every crossing, if protestants and catholics do it similarly that's interesting too. I have attended mass from both, but never paid attention. (i never even remember which way one crosses and have to observe someone else if required to cross.)
Not necessarily. Whilst that candle arrangement (a Menorah) is a symbol of Hanukkah, it is also used in Christian circles, with the most common emphasis on the candles representing Jesus as the light of the world. It is also referenced in the Bible that Jesus, as a Jew, celebrated Hanukkah.
The menorah was commissioned by God to be in the original Temple where God dwelt. Churches are temples of the new covenant, and much of the design is meant to parallel the original Jewish temple. (the vestibule and sanctuary, the altar, the tabernacle, incense, and the priest himself all parallel the design of the original temple) It's no surprise to see a menorah as well.
Στην ορθόδοξη εκκλησία χρησιμοποιούμε τρία δάχτυλα που συμβολίζουν την αγία τριάδα (πατήρ υιός και άγιον πνεύμα) ξεκινούμε από το κεφάλι συνεχίζουμε με την κοιλιά μετά δεξί ώμος και μετά αριστερός. Είναι σαν μια μικρή ομολογία σαν να λέμε "ευχαριστούμε Θεε μου που ήρθες απο τον ουρανό (το μέτωπο) στην γη, στην κοιλιά της Μαρίας και με θέλεις μαζί σου στα δεξια σου (στον παράδεισο) και όχι στα αριστερά σου (στην κόλαση). Επίσης στην ορθοδοξία θεωρούμε πως εαν δεν κάνουμε σωστά τον σταυρό μας και είμαστε σαν να παίζουμε κιθάρα, τότε ο σταυρός αυτός δεν εμποδίζει πουθενά τον διάβολο.
Hmmm imagine if there would be a language where we could make the sign of the cross and everyone globally would understand it... Hmmm... Now THAT would be Catholic af
@@panhandle_ that wouldnt be a universal language if only few old priest wearing grandma's lace understand it. Latin is a dead language for some reason haha
@@King-ur7ev You don't get it. The point is that it's understandable by everyone, not alive. Having a liturgical language means you need to understand the prayers, etc. not speak it fluently.
@@StoriesofGrace7But not really. Millions of Catholics do the cross sign differently, especially Eastern Catholics such as Melkites, Ukrainian Catholics, etc.
Absolutely! In the USA, people have different ways of making the sign of the cross, reflecting the diversity of traditions within the Catholic community. It's always interesting to see how various cultures and regions interpret this sacred gesture!
If anyone has ever watched the movie Nuns On The Run which by the way is an absolute classic of a comedy the one way to remember to do the cross is spectacles testicles wallet and heart. 🤦♂️😂
No need the be edgy atheist how about comment something about muslim channels whos venerating their religion ..so why only catholics?? You admit that they arent tolerant?
@@ludwigjosh9619 I think all religions should be banned from brain washing little children into believing obvious nonsense until they are at least 18. That way we can finally be free of the scourge that religion is.
@@ludwigjosh9619 I think all religions should be banned from brain washing little children in order to keep the scourge going. It is child abuse. Yes I admit some Muslims are not tolerant just like every other religion except maybe the Jains.
Funny thing is, in Indonesia, the term 'Allah' is also used by Catholic and Christian. Well, considering Jewish, Christianity, and Islam have the same root (Abrahamic religion), it's no wonder.
I'm a West Syriac Catholic .❤ we do this too
Shout out to my Syriac Homies on Lebanon , Syria , Iraq and Anatolia , love from the Latin Rite
Greeting and pray from Indonesian Catholic. May Jesus our Lord bless my brother and sister there with peace, health and prosperity. 🇲🇨
Amen!
Amen
what about orthodox christians sir??

@@StoriesofGrace7 That's why you should add them.
أنا ارثوذكسى ونحن نقوم برسم علامة الصليب من اليسار الى اليمين وليس العكس كما تقول
@@StoriesofGrace7 We Eastern Catholics also make the sign of the cross the same way as the Orthodox.
Eastern Rite Catholics exist, which follows the orthodox doctrine but remain in communion with the pope
Nombre del padre, el hijo, y del espíritu santo, amén
What about the Popes? That was a good opportunity to see some Italian, Polish, German and Argentinian customs.
That's a great point! It would have been interesting to explore the different customs of the Popes, especially with such a rich variety of Italian, Polish, German, and Argentinian influences. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Amen! :)
Amen!
Japan is probably the least I'd expect on this list!
Thank you! I’m really interested in learning more about Catholicism in Japan. If you have any interesting information, feel free to share!
So no one even noticed that only in Poland the priest is singing
PHILIPPINES AMEN !
I might not be Christian but quite interesting
Me I'm 🇵🇭 Catholic
Proud to be Catholic

The topic you mentioned is very interesting, and I will make a video about this difference in the future.
Is it not done with your thumb and pointer finger in the shape of a cross anymore?
Why does in this church in Netherlands there is an hanukkah behind Priest? Isn't It an Catholic Church and not an synagog?

Why didn't you compare how Eastern Orthodox and Western Catholic Christians make the sign of the cross?
The topic you mentioned is very interesting, and I will make a video about this difference in the future.
Pray for me also father
Amen!
Lol this is the only thing that people can understand from the new mass. The mass of the ages or TLM was truly universal

So ... they're all the same.
Exactly, the gesture is the same, only the language changes. A beautiful unity in diversity.

Nope. The orthodox do it differently but they only showed catholics here.
The sign of the cross is done multiple ways in the USA.

The most funny is the one in Dutch
At least this video doesn't have the priest saying in the name of the mother and the daughter in French...
I should get a copyright about our new Kingdom😂😂😂😂😂
Like changing sone names to update the infos we get lol
That time they were trying to shift me with the Antichrist place as a civilian and they are losing it😂😂😂😂😂😂😂For helping that guy😂😂😂😂😂😂
Germany
The cross is inverted
It mean norhing to me lol😂😂😂😂😂😂
In latin : in nomine patris et fili et spiritus sancti !
It's backwards!
Thanks for your comment! The sign of the cross is the same, only the language differs. Hope this clears things up!
🇺🇦А де Українською😏?
Sorry
While the Popes is crossing, Islamists came to power in Europe :)
Not for long, my friend :) Not for long.
And what are Christians supossed to do? Call a Crusade? Whats your solution mr. Wiseman.
