If I understand correctly, one of the consequences of this understanding is the fact that leavened bread is used in the Eucharist in the Orthodox church. Are there other consequences, results, etc. of this understanding? It seems to me that the Synoptics agree with John, but have been misinterpreted. I am writing an article on the date of the Last Supper, i.e., was it the Passover Meal (night beginning Nisan 15)or was it the night before (night beginning Nisan 14)? Apart from, questions or maybe along with, textual consideradions, the way the early Greek-speaking church understood the Supper must, it seems to me, be taken into consideration. Not using unleavened bread points in that direction. Are there other things? I would be interested in orientation in this general area.  Note: I am 81, Ph.D. from Vanderbilt in 1963 in Biblical Studies, and speak English, Spanish and French. I would appreciate knowing comments about any relevant specific articles in any of these languages. Thanks for any help. James M. Beaty Hows does one use the talk page to reply to another user? Thanks.   I was recently informed that as the Passover Meal was always to be eaten in haste; the participants always stood during the meal. However, in John 21:20 we read of how the Apostle John "leaned on his (Christ's) breast at supper". Which would fit with a "regular meal". I.e. It would be eaten while reclined. -- Fr. Panteleimon == Uncategorized Images == Hello,I was wondering why in the uncategorized picture section of OrthodoxWiki there is pictures of the Pope? He does not relate to the studies or teaching of Orthodoxy ( At least not to my knowledge ). I know that there have been talks to try and create a greater friendship with the catholics and the Pope. But I still do not think there should be a picture of him on a Orthodox site. I am only 18 and I'm still trying to understand my religion more and I think people might get the wrong impression if they see the Pope on the OrthodoxWiki site. Am I wrong to ask this? Because on a earlier post I noticed that Dcn. Andrew said "OrthodoxWiki is dedicated to Orthodox Christianity." Thanks. P.S.This is a great website and I learn a lot from it.{{unsigned|OrlandoOrthodox}} Although the Orthodox and Caholic churches are not in full Communion, there is often movement,in that direction. The biggest obstacle, to that happening is, antipapal feeling, coming from the radical wing of the Orthodox Church. This has been going on for decades. It's time to come together, and love one another, for all times.{{unsigned|Deacongene}} == When does a hierarch begin his tenure? == According to the canons of the Orthodox Church, at which point does a hierarch ascend his cathedra? That is, if he is elected by the flock of his diocese/metropolia/autonomous Church (where such elections are provided for) is he already considered to occupy his see? Or, will he assume his post only after his election is confirmed by the hierarchal superiors? Or esle, will he do so only after the enthronement ceremony (where such is provided for)? In different lists of hierarchs I have seen different dates marking the beginning of their tenure. I thank You for Your attention and ask, if possible, to advise Church texts to confirm this point. == terminology == The term "Oriental Orthodox" is problematic, since it seems like a euphemism designed to avoid the term "Monophysite." The word "Oriental" really means "Eastern" so the term does not really distinguish the two sides of the debate. Also, the use of the word "Orthodox" implies an acceptance of the Orthodoxy of the non-Chalcedonians, which has still not been agreed upon by a consensus within the (Chalcedonian) Orthodox Church. I know that the term "Monophysite" is considered offensive by the non-Chalcedonians. Unfortunately the term "Miaphysite," coined by some to replace it, is a neologism that just doesn't work in the original Greek (would "miagamous" do as a replacement for "monogamous"?) and, in my opinion, serves to obscure the real ground of difference that still seems to separate the two sides. Since OrthodoxWiki is supposed to have a "mainstream Chalcedonian bias," wouldn't the terms "Chalcedonian" and "non-Chalcedonian" or "anti-Chalcedonian" be more appropriate? <small>—The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Mariner|Mariner]] ([[User talk:Mariner|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mariner|contribs]]) {{{2|}}}.</small> :Hi [[User:Mariner|Mariner]], please sign you posts with three tildes, so we can know who is talking - thanks.:In my understanding, the term "monophysite" is not just offensive, it's inaccurate."Anti-Chalcedonian" may be correct as a historical reference, but perhaps not as a theological descriptor. "Non-Chalcedonian" would probably be the preferred term in my mind. "Oriental Orthodox" is generally understood, and does not, I think, cause much confusion. It also seems to be the preferred self-designation of the non-Chalcedonian groups. I don't have a problem granting direct them that name here. I do not think we need to go heresy hunting. Let us set forth our Chalcedonian understanding of Christology. If they can accept what we mean by this (and WHOM we mean by this), I think we are well on the way towards reunion. We may grant that language issues and imperial politics had a role to play in the division. :If you could document statements by non-Chalcedonian bishops and theologians who would consider Chalcedonian Christology heretical, I think we'd have more to go on in our conversation (and perhaps some of the non-Chalcedonian folks would like to chime in too). — [[User:FrJohn|<b>FrJohn</b>]] ([http://www.orthodoxwiki.org/User_talk:FrJohn&action=edit&section=new talk]) ==Why I am Orthodox==I made a page when anyone can write some phrases to show why he is Orthodox (what is for he more atractive in Orthodoxy), why he haven't chosen an other belief (what aspects that he didn't like it has and it is absent in our religion), or, simply, some beautiful thought from his soul, concerning the Orthodoxy. The advantage Talk pages of this page is that '''there is not needing to wait a special state to write an article.

(Some critics say this is not a term used in the earliest ages of the Church.):Thank you for your kind attention.[[User:MaryKNH|MaryKNH]] You are referring to the third apostichon of the Great Vespers for December 31: Τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ γεννηθέντος ἐν Βηθλεὲμ τῆς Ἰουδαίας, ἓξ Ἀνατολῶν ἐλθόντες Μάγοι, προσεκύνησαν Θεὸν ἐνανθρωπήσαντα καὶ τοὺς θησαυροὺς αὐτῶν προθύμως ἀνοίξαντες, δῶρα τίμια προσέφερον, δόκιμον χρυσόν, ὦς Βασιλεῖ τῶν αἰώνων, καὶ λίβανον, ὦς Θεῷ τῶν ὅλων, ὡς τριημέρω δὲ νεκρῶ, σμύρναν τῶ Ἀθανάτω, Πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, δεῦτε προσκυνήσωμεν, τῶ τεχθέντι σῶσαι τὰς ψυχὰς ἤμών. Your question is about the term δόκιμον χρυσόν. Your translation of "purest gold" isn't literally present in the Greek, where instead of καθαρότερον or καθαρότατον there is the positive adjective δόκιμον. Δόκιμον can be translated as "tested" or "tried" and in this context has the sense of "refined". Thus, "refined gold" is the best translation. Of course, refined gold is not that far removed from the "purest gold". Nevertheless, the English superlative adjective is not literally found in the Greek. I hope this helps.

::Sorry for the delay I'm thinking of working on a more comprehensive and sortable Prayer Book guide.

I've created edittools for el.OrthodoxWiki, it might be usefull on en. or any other OrthodoxWiki. Ofcourse you can modify it accordingly in order == Could an admin add this CSS that gives icons to suit you special needs.

==Russian <poem>'''Could an admin add this to the appropriate place? https://orthodoxwiki.org/User:Dclark/common.css'''It gives icons to youtube and reddit links, like the facebook icons you can see at [[Livestreams]].Also you might want to add the <code>padding-right: 0px</code> to facebook and any other pre-existing instances of icons, as there is a bug where a big space is inserted after the link which looks ugly, e.g. in "Old[http://facebook.com/ here]." Churches==there is no space in the wikitext between the link and the period, there is just an unfortunate 13px padding for some reason.Thanks! (Note: If you want to add icons to other links, the awesome font icons are all listed at https://astronautweb.co/snippet/font-awesome/)(Note 2: There is a bug in all of these icons, including the pre-existing facebook, where it puts an icon in the TOC if just the word is in the heading. Ideally the CSS for mine and the existing facebook icon should be edited so it doesn't do this, but this is beyond my CSS capabilities.)</poem>-[[User:Dclark|Dclark]] ([[User talk:Dclark|talk]]) 17:51, April 12, 2020 (UTC):Just thought I'd do a *gentle nudge* on this as I noticed the remote services page is now linked to from the front page.

I'm == just a bit confused note about the status of at least three articles:*Russian Old-Orthodox Church*Russian Orthodox Old-Rite Church*Russian Orthodox Oldritualist ChurchDo these represent different groups? Looking at the history of the [[Russian Old-Orthodox Church]] and [[Russian Orthodox Oldritualist Church]], I can see that there must have been something ... but that has mysteriously disappeared. And the [[Russian Orthodox Old-Rite Church]] article, taken from Wikipedia, has an external link to the OrthodoxWiki article Russian a Canadian Orthodox Oldritualist Church. Clarification? —[[User:Magda|<b>magda</b>]] ([[User_talk:Magda|talk]]) 07:41, August 8, 2007 (PDT)History Wiki ==

Magda, I don't know stumbled across this the story behind these articles, and I'm other day - definitely not an expert in this area. It seems to me they would all be "Old Believer" churches, though I suppose The ROCOR parish in Erie, PA is a former Old Believer church that now is part of the Chruch Abroadsame as OrthodoxWiki, but that continues to practice the old riteinteresting nonetheless: https://orthodoxcanada. There are also a number of different Old Believer groups -- I'm not sure how they are distinguished in terms of names. — ca/Main_Page[[User:FrJohnKatjuscha|<b>FrJohn</b>Katjuscha]] ([http[User talk://www.orthodoxwiki.org/User_talk:FrJohn&action=edit&section=new Katjuscha|talk]]) 03:02, November 20, 2022 (UTC)

==ConversionAligning Templates to Right/Left, allowing text to wrap. ==Not sure if this is the place for this, but here goes:

I have been wanting to convert to Eastern Orthdoxy for at least a year now. Eastern Orthodoxy to me seems to be Hello, everyone! For those on the oldest church and probably the closest in nature to the original church New Calendar -- Christ is born! For those of the apostles. The problem is that I have been brought up in us who aren't, we've still got a Unitarian/spiritualist home and lack knowledge couple of how to go about converting to Orthodoxy. If anyone here could help me I would be much obligedweeks. --[[User:Gorig|Gorig]] 02:34, August 25, 2007 (PDT)

:Hi Gorig, Thanks Right now I am trying to create/update the lives of the Prophets and I have created a template for your note -- may God bless you a series on your journey! I'd recommend visiting around to your local Orthodox parishes. Find one where you feel comfortable their lives and talk with not the priest there. If you want to say where you're locatedProphetical books themselves, maybe we can help point you to a churchas that has already been created and done well. — [[User:FrJohn|<b>FrJohn</b>]] ([http://www.orthodoxwiki.org/User_talk:FrJohn&action=edit&section=new talk]) 10:18, August 25, 2007 (PDT)

::Fr John's idea is definitely I am having a good one; there's a list of parishes for every U.S. state on Orthowiki, so hopefully you can find one near you (or several, if you live in a large metropolitan area). But more specifically, if you're wondering problem with text not being able to wrap around the template no matter what the actual conversion process consists of, it usually includes a series of catechism classes. How many and how long depends on your parish priest. When tag I began add to the process a couple years ago, for exampletemplate or articles themselves, my priest held an after-Liturgy class two Sundays leaving quite a month from October until April, when everyone in gap between the group was baptized/chrismated (or bailed out at the last minute, in one or two cases). Each one lasted a little over an hour, and they covered basic theology, liturgics, a bit body of ecclesiology, Orthodox spirituality, text and lots of Church history. Of course, the detailed content depends on the priest, but you'll get the basics anywhere. Since you were brought up Unitarian, you'll probably need to be both baptized and chrismated, and a priest can tell you about doing so in due time. The best way to learn, though, is to go through a year bottom of liturgical services, especially during Lent and Pascha. The Paschal service really is the best way to understand the heart of Orthodoxy&mdash;but you'll get there eventually(if you want, of course)page. Hope I know this helps.
