In Episode 4 in the series, "John of the Ladder, Prof. Christopher Veniamin takes the opportunity to describe something of what it was like to experience the Divine Liturgy when St. Sophrony was serving. Serving in the Holy Altar for a number of years in his youth, watching his spiritual father (and the other holy fathers, genuine deciples of of the Saint) celebrate the Divine Liturgy with humble reverence and prayerful attentiveness, an indelible mark was imprinted "in his mind and in his heart".
