Watching
Watching the Orthodox Easter service on RT. Excellent narrators, giving the history of Christianity and the history of Russia while describing the action. I might prefer silence during the music, but the narration is so deeply informative that it's worth the slight loss.
The difference between Orthodox and Rome is clear. Papal Rome continued the globalist imperial tradition of pagan Rome. Orthodoxy grew locally in each ethnic group, with variations that continue today.
Camera shows the audience often. Young and old, male and female. You can tell who attends church regularly and who shows up on Easter. The regulars know the rhythm, and the one-timers are trying to follow along without much success.
The older folks in the audience have lived through the crucifixion of Soviet Russia by Soros, the Soros-Yeltsin tomb, and the resurrection of Orthodox Russia by Putin. Many of the older folks died in the Soros tomb.
Irrelevant and irreverent sidenote: There'a a lot of candle action around the altar. The priests are swinging LONG candles, including three-candle combos representing the trinity. Those candles and holders are remarkably sturdy. No ordinary candle would stay intact. Must be a specialized church guild of candle engineers. ... Aha. A closeup shows part of the secret. The trinity candles are held in a Ж shape by plain old rubber bands!
