After going to my first Solemn High Mass, I have a draw to visit an Eastern Catholic Church for the Divine Liturgy, coming from the Latin Rite, any suggestions between the different churches? I’m planning on going to a Byzantine Church, but it was just the closest one to me, any further suggestions? TIA!
 
Go and experience it, by all means.

That will tell you more than any posting here will.

You can find the current Melkite translation of the Divine Liturgy at

www.melkite.org

Of course, there are other translations of the Divine Liturgy on line.
 
The best suggestion that I have is not to bother with the service book. Just relax and experience a very different way of praising the Most Holy Trinity.
I must warn that for me, once I was exposed to the Byzantine Divine Liturgy I was never at home any where else. " I did not not know if I was in heaven or on earth".
I envy you your chance at discovery.
Many years,
McPhelan
 
Oh, I heartily agree.

The last thing you should do on a first visit is to get bogged down in a book.

I merely recommended this site to look at at home first.

There’s also

www.kaldu.org

which gives the Chaldean Recension in English of the Liturgy of Ss. Addai and Mari, their usual liturgy.
