same for us, there is an elevation where the bishop/priest will stand to chant/speak and behind him there is a wall with doors that seperate the interior for them to go inside and do their things

2019-05-10 18:08:50 UTC  

Communion is kept in a Tabernacle with a lock on it

2019-05-10 18:08:55 UTC  

and we can't go there

2019-05-10 18:09:13 UTC  

So I suppose it's kinda secure

2019-05-10 18:09:44 UTC  

I never heard a thing about someone stealing the communion

2019-05-10 18:10:01 UTC  

The only thing I have heard some shitfags stealing the box that we leave the donations

Here you can see all that separates them is steps

2019-05-10 18:10:44 UTC  

But nobody really violates that

2019-05-10 18:10:59 UTC  

What we do have a problem with though is the sneaking

2019-05-10 18:11:14 UTC  

So do you give it on the tongue? Or hand it to them?

2019-05-10 18:11:44 UTC  

this is how the interior look on us

2019-05-10 18:11:50 UTC  

the altar is behind this "walls"

2019-05-10 18:12:36 UTC  

The wine is given to us by the priest, after we kiss his hand and tell him our baptist name and the bread is given to our hand after the wine by someone when we do leave

2019-05-10 18:14:10 UTC  

Aren’t you supposed to eat the communion thing before you walk away?

2019-05-10 18:14:33 UTC  

I’ve had pieces of bread torn off and crackers.

2019-05-10 18:14:45 UTC  

Well, they stand on the door before you leave and they gived it there

2019-05-10 18:15:33 UTC  

So the orthobro stand in that door and gives you the communion thing?

2019-05-10 18:16:06 UTC  

Then you what? Go back to your seat and eat it or eat it on the way back to your seat?

2019-05-10 18:16:10 UTC  

The priest will stand there in the middle to give us the wine, and the other orthobro will stand at the door before you go out of the church

2019-05-10 18:16:48 UTC  

Oh. So on leaving the service you get the communion wafer/bread.

2019-05-10 18:16:59 UTC  

Yes

2019-05-10 18:17:13 UTC  

After the wine(blood) the liturgy ends

2019-05-10 18:17:23 UTC  

and we are given the bread(flesh) after that

2019-05-10 18:18:23 UTC  

To qualify for the communion also

2019-05-10 18:18:28 UTC  

Ah ok

2019-05-10 18:18:55 UTC  

we need to do a fasting a day before (friday) and we don't have to eat anything else in the morning on the day of the communion until we finish the liturgy

2019-05-10 18:19:08 UTC  

so the first thing we eat and drink is the blood and flesh

2019-05-10 18:19:31 UTC  

My churches always have us walk up to the front and get our bread/wafer and our wine/grape juice cup. Then we either eat & drink right there, or set & drink back in our seat.

2019-05-10 18:19:59 UTC  

So you do that fasting every week?

2019-05-10 18:20:03 UTC  

Yes

2019-05-10 18:20:36 UTC  

If you follow the rules 100%

2019-05-10 18:20:45 UTC  

Interesting.

2019-05-10 18:20:46 UTC  

some days you can't eat meat

2019-05-10 18:20:47 UTC  

etc

2019-05-10 18:21:01 UTC  

Every week the same thing

2019-05-10 18:21:35 UTC  

I have years to follow that though or to attend communion myself though

2019-05-10 18:21:45 UTC  

Ah

2019-05-10 18:22:05 UTC  

So you’re a degenerate apostate then? 😜🤣

2019-05-10 18:22:12 UTC  

You could say that
