I am curious. I am a baptized member of the RCC, I take eucharist weekly. Never forget, pray the rosary everyday. I was wondering if it is ok to take a eucharist at an EO church just to expereince it?
Is this typically the same valid eucharist? or would this be 'mixing' so to say..
Illicit?

This is exactly right.I was always taught that celebrating the Eucharist was celebrating our unity in God.
Since the EO and RCC churches are still separated, I was taught that it would be inappropriate for a person of one denomination to receive Eucharist at the other's services because (let's see if I can remember the exact words) "it would imply a unity that unfortunately does not exist" I think was the phrase used.
So, while I don't know if it is wrong or whatever, I do know it is not encouraged.
Just what I've heard on the matter.

No. You are not Orthodox, therefore no Orthodox communion.I was wondering if it is ok to take a eucharist at an EO church just to expereince it?
And conversely so, although the Catholic Church will allow an Orthodox to receive the Eucharist if there is no valid Orthodox Eucharistic service available, since both communions consider each other's Eucharist to be both valid and licit. We do not intercommunion because to do so would presuppose a union that does not yet exist (again).No. You are not Orthodox, therefore no Orthodox communion.
However, at the end of the Liturgy, the priest holds the cross and people go up to kiss it. Next to the priest, somebody (usually a reader) will be holding this bowl of Prospora (sp?) which is blessed bread. Non-Orthodox, I've been told, are welcome to take a piece of the blessed bread or two, but only Orthodox can receive the actual Eucharist.
Exactly! Except in Catholic Canon Law, it says that Orthodox may receive Communion in the Catholic church if the priest or bishop says it is ok. Which usually they do not.And conversely so, although the Catholic Church will allow an Orthodox to receive the Eucharist if there is no valid Orthodox Eucharistic service available, since both communions consider each other's Eucharist to be both valid and licit.

No, usually, the powers that be on the Orthodox side discourage Orthodox receiving communion in Catholic churches.Did you found a catholic priest who denied you the Communion because you are Orthodox?
