Another in the lecture series produced by St. Volodymyr Cathedral of Toronto and St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. Fr. ...Bohdan Hladio describes the most important aspects of the Holy Altar the sanctuary in the ecclesiastical East of Orthodox church buildings, found behind the iconostasis, where the laity may not enter without a blessing. Fr. Hladio explains the common features of the Holy Table and the items on it: the Artophorion (Tabernacle), Gospel Book, Blessing Cross, Communion cloths, oil lamps, Seven-branched Candlestick, Repidia (liturgical fans) and Processional Cross. He delves into the form and function of the Antimension the Altar cloth into which a martyr's relics have been sewn. Consecrated and signed by the bishop, it is the basis of a bond between a bishop and the community he oversees, authorizing the celebration of the Divine Liturgy. It is onto the Antimension that the Holy Gifts are borne during the Divine Liturgy; without it celebration of the Liturgy is impossible. From the Holy Table, attention is turned to the High Place, the apse behind the Tabernacle, traditionally the place where the Synthronon a tiered and elevated platform with benches for the clergy flanking the cathedra (the Bishop's throne) is located. It was from this throne that bishops of the early church delivered homilies instructing the faithful. Following the High Place, Father Bohdan briefly touches on the Diakonikon, a side table to the ecclesiastical south of the Holy Table (in much larger ancient churches, this might have been a separate room or vestry) and its counterpart on the opposite side (the ecclesiastical north) of the sanctuary, the Table of Oblation where the Proskomedia (the Liturgy of Preparation ofthe bread and wine that become the Body and Blood of our Lord, God and Saviour, Jesus Christ are prepared) takes place.

The next in the series of videos about aspects of the Divine Liturgy the faithful rarely witness, produced by St. Volodymyr Cathedral of Toronto and St. John th...e Baptist Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Oshawa, Ontario. In this film, Fr. Bohdan Hladio briefly explains and then demonstrates the vesting of the priest before the Proskomedia (the Liturgy of Preparation that immediately precedes the Divine Liturgy), with prayers for the donning of each article of liturgical vesture drawn from the Books of Isaiah, Exodus and Psalms. The five fundamental vestments: Sticharion (стихар), Epitrachelion (питрахиль), Zone (пояс), Epimanikia (поруч) and Phelonion (фелон) are described, while the Epigonation (палиця) an ecclesiastical award that not all priests might wear and the priest's pectoral cross are also discussed.

In the first in a series of video collaborations between St. Volodymyr Cathedral of Toronto and St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Oshawa, Fr. Bo...hdan Hladio describes the Proskomedia: "The Liturgy of Preparation", focusing on the preparation of the leavened bread, wine and water which will become the Body and Blood of our Lord, God and Saviour, Jesus Christ, at the Liturgy of the Faithful. With the text of the prayers of the Proskomedia as a foundation, Fr. Bohdan explains how the Diskos (paten), Chalice, Spear, Asterisk (star-cover), small veils and Aër (large veil) are used; how the Lamb is cut from the first of five loaves of leavened bread (Prosphora); and how particles are taken from the remaining loaves for the Most-holy Theotokos (Mother of God), for the nine ranks of Saints, for the Hierarchs, the Civil Authorities, the Living and the Dead. Fr. Hladio elaborates on the pious practice of submitting the names of one's family and friends (both living and the reposed) and the associated offering of smaller loaves which are returned as blessed bread to family members following the Liturgy. He describes how the Lamb, having become the Body of Christ is further divided at the Eucharist, with specific portions to fulfill the Chalice, divided among the celebrating clergy; and reserved for the Communion of the laity. ______ For more content, lectures and liturgical services, follow and subscribe to the parishes' YouTube channels: St. Volodymyr Cathedral of Toronto: https://www.youtube.com/c/stvolodymyrcathedraloftoronto St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Oshawa: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq6XFajpj5rTAOvvTSnutHA ______ Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us sinners!
