A few paragraphs up you read that we venerate icons and the Holy Cross. The worshipper will make use of their sense of sight during the service. In a very literal manner we “taste and see” (Psalm 33/34) that the Lord is good. Taste Every Divine Liturgy in the Orthodox Church uses the sense of taste as the faithful partake of communion.

In the Orthodox Church the service is very “hands on.” Orthodox Christians make the sign of the Cross at various points during the service and venerated icons and the Cross when entering the Church or after the service has concluded. Touch This may be the most foreign aspect of Orthodox worship to someone who has not witnessed it before. It is a service that touches all of the senses. For we cannot forget that beauty.” The Orthodox service that these ambassadors experience is the same service used in the Orthodox Church today. We cannot describe it to you: only this we know, that God dwells there among men, and that their service surpasses the worship of all other places. The emissaries reported “We knew not whether we were in heaven or on earth, for surely there is no such splendor or beauty anywhere upon earth. While the emissaries were in the Church of Holy Wisdom in Constantinople,(modern day Istanbul, Turkey) they experienced something they had never experienced before. In the 10th century, emissaries were sent from Russia to various places in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia to look for a faith for the Russian Empire. Worship in the Orthodox Church is also different than any other worship experience. Worship is central in the life of an Orthodox Christian. We seek to do this in all aspects of our life. We believe that it is our mission, as Christ’s followers, to bring the “good news” the “Gospel” to all men. We believe that the Son was Incarnate of the Virgin Mary and became man so that he might restore all people, and all of creation to Himself. We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son, timelessly begotten of the Father.

We believe in the Holy Trinity, one God in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Orthodox Church has upheld the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Apostles (12 Disciples), and the Church Fathers for the past 2000 years.
