"And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, 'This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me'" (Luke 22:19).
What really happens at the altar during the Divine Liturgy? In This Is My Body: The Rite of the Liturgy Explained, H.G. Bishop Raphael walks through each segment of the Coptic Orthodox Liturgy, exploring the reason and meaning behind it with biblical proof and spiritual contemplation.
The liturgical rite of the Coptic Orthodox Church is rich and deeply symbolic. It joins Old Testament and New Testament elements seamlessly to tell the story of salvation. Though St Mark established the Liturgy almost two thousand years ago, its rite remains largely unchanged, which makes the Orthodox Church unique.
Yet the beauty of this mosaic often goes unappreciated, especially:
The inaudible prayers said by the priest.
The subtle gestures and actions inside the altar.
The biblical roots of each part of the service.
This book brings them to light, so that every worshipper can pray the Liturgy with understanding and greater love.
It is ideal for:
Deacons and altar servants.
Sunday school teachers and youth servants preparing lessons on the Liturgy.
Converts and enquirers wanting to understand Orthodox worship.
Every faithful who wants to experience the Eucharist more deeply.
A clear and reverent guide to the heart of Coptic Orthodox worship.
