Thanks, but we don't pray to the icons.
Just a correction to a couple of the previous reviews. The Orthodox don't pray -to- the icons. We ask the saints represented in them to pray for us, and intercede on our behalf before God.
Well nothing is wrong with the church besides the praying to icons. Icons are ok as long as you don't pray to them.
The Priest is a warm hearted and humble Christian man that will make you feel welcomed.
As the name denotes, its Greek and goes back to that time in history when Greek was the language of commerce in much the same way English is today. But don't despair, over 75% of the service is done in English and there are books in the pews to follow along.
You'll enter a world that will be totally strange yet seemingly pertinent. The worship service dates back to the third/fourth centuries but will immediately seem familiar as it recants Scripture, teaches unwavering theological truths, and portrays the life of Jesus Christ. While its an Eucharistic Service, Communion is restricted to baptized Orthodox Christians that have undergone preparation.
In today's age when Christian Churches seem to be changing the rules on what is right and wrong in their attempt to be current, here's a Church that hasn't changed its teachings in over 1700 years. If you ever wondered what the original Christian Church was all about and how they worshipped, then take the time to come to the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church on 10:00 AM Sunday morning to see..
The congregation itsself is no longer majority Greek as there are ethnicities representing the many countries where Orthodox Christianity is practiced along with many converts to the Faith that have discovered Orthodox Christianity as part of their spritiual journey.
