I remember there was a thread on this long ago, but I've been wondering about it... in my family's ROCOR church, it's a custom to go to Confession before Communion. But I know in some other Orthodox churches, a person can go to Confession once a month, but receive Communion more often. I remember my question before, was regarding why this difference exists.
But I was also wondering, how frequently do Orthodox in general receive Communion? I'm not here to argue what the answer is, but I'm just curious does it differ depending on church? Mostly - is it seen as good or bad to receive every week (provided you meet your church's requirements for Confession)?
Just something I've always wondered about!
thank you God bless!
