What on Earth is that...

That is a Chalice - and though I've seen some big ones I've never seen one that size before.

WT - you have to remember that in the East we Receive from the Chalice - both the Body and Blood of our Lord and Saviour being administered to us at the same time .

The cleric on the right is a Deacon , behind the Chalice from what I can see is a Priest and on the left is a Bishop [ judging from the Pectoral Cross and Engolpion ]

I knew that, it's just that receiving communion from that is... Well, kind of intimidating.​

Anyone know where Butovo is ? IIRC that was mentioned on the text that showed up on the Photo

It's actually not a very large chalice. It's just a very small deacon.

Seriously though, is this photoshopped? It would make sense that the bishop on the left is larger because he is in the foreground, but look at the size of the deacon compared to the priests behind him. They are in the background and they look enormous. I think someone may be ortho-pranking us
