Due to the fact it is hard for people raised in Western Christendom to stand as much as the native Orthodox do.

Anyway, maybe, God willing, I'll be able to grow toward standing longer.

It\'s not just \"those raised in western Christendom\" who sit, it\'s also the Orthodox whose churches have pews. Unless you have a physical impairment, it doesn\'t take that long to get used to standing throughout a Liturgy. The REAL test is Easter, where it can run for a good four hours. It can be done, believe me. I\'ve got a sway back and bad knees, but somehow I\'ve managed.

Be the first person to like this.
