I went to church today to see what the Orthodox mass consists of. For 1 hour (mass lasts for 2 hours) I sat at the back of the church while the people infront continiously made the sign of the cross and chanted away in response to the priest. As the service went on people came and people went. When the priest walked down the central isle blessing the people, everyone wanted to touch him. One lady took out a hanky and rubbed it on his white cloak with then folded it and put it back into her pocked. The popstars have taken on this role back home. Infact off of the top of my head I can't think of any young people who attend the church regularly or even at all. Yet they still choose to get married there. . .
