Thanks for posting this - hopefully the start of a really good thread with many such references!

FYI - there are also some really good clips provided on the Orientale LumenTV website @

oltv.tv/id25.html

I have some other Liturgies and services ID’d in sundry playlists on my YouTube account. I’ll try to get them organized and posted here ASAP.

Peace!
 
Beautiful liturgy especially most of the music and the bells and fans. Is the celebrant a bishop, or do Armenian preists wear copes and mitres as well?

Its a bishop. The commentary says it although its like halfway through the Liturgy. I was wondering too at the beginning but the bishop does wear an omophorion like the Byzantine Rite bishops.
 
ARMENIAN VESTMENTS

Both priests and bishops can wear mitra - bishops (this film shows bishop) wears a mitra like Roman bishops but without ribbons in the back and higher. Priests were mitra like Orthodox bishops but usually only with designs and not icons on them. Mitra for priest is called Saagavart. Mitra of the bishop is called Tiara. The felon or cope or what you called it is a Shoukhar. The Vakas is the high special collar with images of saints on , put on by both priests and bishops.
 
That’s interesting at the beginning. It looks like the bishop is vesting but not in the temple, since he is shown entering the temple from the back of it already vested.

I have only been in Russian Hierarchical Divine Liturgies. The bishop enters wearing his mantiya and klobuk and after coming through the temple he ends up at the kafedra where the mantiya comes off and he begins to vest in the midst of the clergy and laity. I find this a deeply moving part of the Hierarchical Divine Liturgy. I was in tears during this at the Feast of St. Stephan. Their sakkos have little bells on the tips of the sleeves which make a lovely jingling sound as they move their arms. 🙂

I just googled and found this nice Youtube of a bishop vesting. It seems to be a tiny parish. Everyone has an excellent view! I’ve been in much more crowded circumstances.
 
Here are a couple more if you’re interested in hearing the chants since these one’s don’t have visuals of the actual liturgy itself in the video:

Just wanted to share some of the stuff I found on YouTube, for those curious about Eastern Liturgies but do not have one available nearby or are just too shy to step into the Eastern church on a Sunday.

First is this Armenian Divine Liturgy. It is in Armenian but there is a commentary in English:

Part 3: youtu.be/ec9SdhvNCmg
Part 4: youtu.be/Mc_d0nSlN6k

And here is a full Coptic Liturgy in English

Solemn Divine Liturgy of St. Basil the Great
Greek Catholic Eparchy of Mukachevo (Ruthenian)
Cathedral of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross
Feast of the Nativity of Our Lord
January 7, 2012 (Old Calendar)

This is the “Mother Church” for Byzantine Ruthenian Catholics. The Divine Liturgy was attended by the Apostolic Nuncio for Ukraine-Transcarpathia.

The video provides an excellent example of a Byzantine-Ruthenian Rite Divine Liturgy.

Is the liturgy served in Slavonic, or what language?
