🤔 I understood a little of that article but most of it still has me in a quandary.
 
Unfortunately no, and there are no other Eastern Catholic Churches beside Byzantine one in my country. I am kinda sure I will have to travel to attend many other Liturgies, so thanks for the tip 🙂

Sadly no, I don’t study in Prague but if I go there I plan to go see it 🙂

This is probably what your talking about (although its in malayalam

Your Lordship has no need of our praise, O Lord, nor are You magnified by our thanks. You have the innumerable choristers, the endless hosts of light, the yoked cherubim and the glorious seraphim, thousands and numberless multitudes, myriads and choirs uncountable, expansive ranks of devouring fire, wondrous hosts of mighty blaze, arrayed standing legions, the chariot of cherubim whose variety are immeasurable, cohorts of archangels, multitudes of seraphim by the clamor of their wings the foundations [of creation] tremble, glorious cries from between the fiery coals with trembling are heard, a thousand thousands stand before You, and ten thousand ten thousands glorify Your being who with one pure voice and one dear acclaim with sweet melodies and immaterial tongues cry out, one to another, with the eternal praise, saying: Holy, holy, holy…

That’s at the OCA cathedral in D.C. I attended a hierarchical Divine Liturgy there when Met. Jonah was still the Metropolitan of the OCA. The cathedral is stunning, and when the music is added in it really does feel like heaven on earth.
