I’ve had pieces of bread torn off and crackers.
Well, they stand on the door before you leave and they gived it there
So the orthobro stand in that door and gives you the communion thing?
Then you what? Go back to your seat and eat it or eat it on the way back to your seat?
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
Oh. So on leaving the service you get the communion wafer/bread.
Yes
After the wine(blood) the liturgy ends
and we are given the bread(flesh) after that
To qualify for the communion also
Ah ok
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
so the first thing we eat and drink is the blood and flesh
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.
So you do that fasting every week?
Yes
If you follow the rules 100%
Interesting.
some days you can't eat meat
etc
I have years to follow that though or to attend communion myself though
Ah
So you’re a degenerate apostate then? 😜🤣
You could say that
*sarcasm* by the way
It's not a long time that I have returned to church, I had my phase of agnosticism like @Iakovos too
Maybe a year or two that I devoted myself again
I returned to pray daily also
Ah ok cool
So you’re also a recent return to Christianity.
Yes
So when I do feel ready I'll probably try fasting and return to do the communion each week
So you’ve been back in church for 1-2 years, but not taking communion?
Yes
Ah ok
Do you have to do anything officially for the priest to let you do communion or have you just not done it?
You don't, you may even cheat and eat before the communion but you would only cheat yourself
The only time a priest can reject your request of communion
is if you have sinned (a lot) and try to speak it with the priest. He will order you a fasting for a month or even more depends on your sins and after that he will allow you to go again for a communion
that mostly happens in your local churches
