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

Even I knew that and I only got 13/20 .

Actually it was a bit of an assumption. I knew there are 12 bells which were to symbolise the apostles and the ringing I assumed was to symbolise the preaching of the Gospel.

Nice to know that one of my assumptions are true

Mary of Bethany said:
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).

You're right. ooops.

Please forgive me

There's no way for me to edit it is there? short of deleting it and starting over?

Maybe I'll do that eventually...

18/20, and I'm not even Orthodox. (For the record, I don't know how the clergy take Communion, and I made a mistake on the "O Heavenly King", which I realized right after I pressed "next" )

Orthodox clergy receive the Body in their hands, and then receive the Blood, taking three sips directly from the chalice. Orthodox faithful receive the Body and Blood together from the chalice, distributed by a spoon by the priest or deacon.

Great knowledge of Orthodoxy is not half as important as living Orthodoxy and performing works of mercies and loving all.

I haven't studied Orthodoxy very much, but I still made a 95%, I must be a great guesser, LOL.
That was a great quiz.

I didn't do to bad but I found out for sure that I have much to learn.

Kosher wine....

IIRC, "Kosher" indicates that it has been processed under the strict supervision of a Rabbi, and then blessed by him. "Kosher" has nothing to do with the existence of meat or dairy products in the food, though the rules for designating a food product as "Kosher" vary from product to product. Therefore, chicken, beef and wine may all meet the general designation "Kosher," but would not all need to meet the same criteria, other than that of being processed under the supervision of a Rabbi.

Which leads me to my question... does this mean that Communion wine is obtained after it is deemed by a Rabbi to meet the requirements of Jewish dietary law? I would find that highly unusual...

Only got 12 right

Because the wine of the time was Jewish wine, because it is made in a specific way to be syrupy and mild wine, and because the prosphora must be made likewise, with no animal parts or, say, crisco in the bread, it has to be a certain kind, but I was not aware that it had to be certified Kosher. I think there must be good reasons for requiring certain kinds of wine, but a blessing/overseeing by a Rabbi is not one of them.

Kapusta · Mar 6, 2006

I was attempting to zero-in on the use of the word "Kosher," because this word carries connotations that I'm not certain were meant by the way the word was used in the quiz. Perhaps, rather than using the word "Kosher," the word "vegan" would have been more appropriate? Unless, in fact, communion wine is indeed "Kosher"....

Manishevitz, anyone? ;-)

Katherine_van_Orvelte · Mar 7, 2006

Well, a wine disignated "vegan" would, indeed work just as well. Just at wine stores I don't see wines under that label....

Unless a priest is getting the supply from a place where you know for sure that they aren't using eggs or geletin in the production, they usually err on the side of caution and get kosher wines. At least, that's how it was explained to me.

I guess a wine produced at a monastery would be made without eggs and stuff normally anyways, no? But here in America there's not to many wine-producing monasteries, so store-bought kosher it is.

Sorry, this question is too tricky. My apologies.

Though I do like using a standard wine. When I was anglican and would go up for communion I hated when I would come away thinking "hmm, that was a really good caberet sauvigon". Though I suppose the addition of hot water also serves the cover up the particular taste.

Interesting, with this discussion I now see ads for kosher foods. LOL. I didn't even know there was a special kosher Zone diet.

Grigorii · Mar 7, 2006

Soooo,.. in the end the question about the wine,.. The question itself,.. Is kosher? Yes? No?

Kapusta · Mar 7, 2006

It probably does not HAVE to be kosher, but in the states (a coutnry where Orthodox are far and few between) it is probably the easiest and most sure way to know that the wine was produced correctly and that it meets our standards as Orthodox. I imagine in Greece (for example) it's easier to ensure Orthodox quality without seeking a jewish rabbi
