Do you have any info on why Slavs don't do the Great Entrance this way? I've noticed everyone walks around the whole Church and comes through the middle, it's only the Slavic Churches that don't do this.
It is because the Slavs and the Greeks follow two different Typikons. The Greeks follow a Cathedral Rite, that of the Great Church of Constantinople. The Slavs follow a Monastic Typikon, that of St. Sabbas Monastery of Jerusalem. That is the reason for the difference.
Love learning about my Church; my family converted in 2006 from Lutheranism.
Thank you
Christ is in our midst!
He is and He' ll ever shall be !
Thank you for your kind and accurate explanation, father. :)
