I forgot to mention we also had two indigenous languages as well, but I can't remember what they were called.

How they do it is another story. The OCA parishes I've been a part of had each language read in its entirety; entire passage in English, entire passage in Slavonic, entire passage in Hawaiian Pidgin, etc. The Greek and Antiochian parishes I've been two broke the Gospel into three sections and each language read that section; 1st section in English, 1st section in Greek, 1st section in Assyrian; than later, 2nd section in English, 2nd section in Greek, 2nd section in Assyrian, etc.

Yes you're right. Earlier today I checked the services book and there's a note at that part that says traditionally this is done.
I have another question. When ya'll say you read the Gospel... we read John 20:19-25. Is that what everyone reads?

I don't understand the thinking behind that. We celebrate the ultimate day of triumph and joy, and sort of end it with St. Thomas doubting.
