Here’s the second half of a discussion on the Eastern Orthodox Divine Liturgy. I structured it around an early second century description of a Christian Eucharistic service, written by St. Justin the Martyr:

• “On the day called Sunday, all gather together to one place…
• “And the memoirs of the apostles or the writings of the prophets are read…”
• “Then the president verbally exhorts to the imitation of these good things…”
• “Then we all rise together and pray…”
• “Bread and wine and water are brought forth…
• “The president offers prayers and thanksgivings… and the people give their ascent, saying: Amen…”
• “There is a distribution to each of that over which thanks has been given…”
• “And they who are well to do give what each thinks fit to take care of all who are in need.”
