<============= I want an Orthodox censer. With bells.

I can't take my own quiz, and I don't remember what #2 was about.

I'm part of the Russian tradition. I tried to make everything as generally Orthodox as I could, but if anything isn't right from a Byzantine pov do tell.

 

[moses916]

the quiz was kosher

 

[Anhelyna]

It certainly made me think , and to be honest I feel quite proud of myself being a rather new Eastern Catholic

 

[moses916]

lol Anhelyna... I can say with firm conviction, you are more Orthodox than i am and i've been Orthodox for 19 years

 

[Emmanuel-A]

Hmm, what do you mean by kosher wine ?

No animal by-products were used in the production.


Maybe that question is too tricky....

There is some debate as to what Kingdom yeast belongs to

I got a 95 as one question timed out due to toddler/infant interrupts

It is Orthodox to have a censer without bells--in many places, a censer with bells is used on feast days. For example, you might go all Lent without bells--then to hear the bells on Pascha in the midst of all the ruckus and "Christ is Risens!!!" is quite the auditory experience.

Here's a good quiz question: How many bells are there on a censer and what do they represent?

It was a good quiz, one or two made me stop and think...

 

[Mary of Bethany]

I missed the one about clergy communion. I never realized they received it differently.

I *would* have missed the one about wine being kosher, if I hadn't already read through the thread.

Good quiz!

12, for the Apostles, the sound represents the Gospel being preached.

Hey, I didn't do so badly. I got 17 out of 20, not bad for being brand new to Orthodoxy.

Not bad at all Kami

When is the Theophany. I got 20/20 because I knew for sure the Epiphany was the baptism... but I thought we celebrated the Thwophany and Epiphany simultaneously. I thought that was a peculiarity to the East. When is the Theophany celebrated? Sorry for the stupid question. I'm glad I took that quiz if not only for that very reason!

[Mary of Bethany]

Theophany/Epiphany are the same Feast. We generally call it "Theophany" and focus on the revelation of the Holy Trinity. The West calls it "Epiphany" and focuses on the revelation of Christ to the Gentiles (the Magi).

[Dewi Sant]

13 out of 20.

Some of it was guess work like the one on the 7th ecumenical counsel which I guessed on 4th because I had only heard of the first three.
