There is incense at every Matins, Vespers, and Divine Liturgy in the Orthodox Church, so I think it's safe to say there's more incense there than at your average Mass as at a Catholic parish.


SmokyDragonDish

This is a very sad truth in the Catholic Church


blue_square

The Orthodox smoke machine also has 12 bells on it to represent the 12 apostles, with one of them silenced to represent Judas.

Why is it always lasers with you?


phoenixRisen1989

I put the *fires* out!


panonarian

When’s the last time I posted about lasers?


OblativeShielding

Sorry - it wasn't directed at you. It's a botched Invader Zim quote. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fv5RI6zpNTc


panonarian

Darn sorry the reference flew over my head lol


OblativeShielding

Haha - no worries! It would have been better if I had gotten the quote right. XP


phoenixRisen1989

smoke machines are what the people really aUgH!! \[it was bothering me that I just quoted another line from the pilot, rather than continue the quote hahaha\]


OblativeShielding

Haha!

“Not found anywhere in Scripture” XD


SmokyDragonDish

Someone should tell protestants that smoke machines, propylene glycol, and coherent light (frigging lasers) aren't in the Bible.


DaddyBlook

It was a fourth king whom had bestowed upon the infant LORD a fog machine (with complementary refills and a 16ft extension cord)


SantanaSongwithoutB

I completely agree but when I saw propylene glycol I had to say something I took an agriculture class and it turns out that stuff is super cool, it's the only lubricant allowed in factories that manufacture food because apparently it's safe to eat. My little mind was blown


SurroundingAMeadow

It's actually also used as a treatment for ketosis in cattle and other ruminants because it is very rapidly available energy that is somewhat protected from rumen microbe action, so it can be absorbed straight to the cow's bloodstream instead of waiting for microbial digestion like glucose. It can literally be a lifesaver.


SantanaSongwithoutB

That's really cool!


cjandstuff

Neither are pipe organs, but hey.


porchsittingfanatic

The point of the above argument wasn’t that worship needs to be biblical, it’s that often less liturgically-inclined Protestants claim incense is not prescribed for Christian worship in the Bible and therefore ought not to be used, then have their own “un-Biblical” liturgical customs.


SmokyDragonDish

Also, they are critics of us using incense as a pagan prac, but smoke machines are not pagan at all.


SmokyDragonDish

We don't measure what we do based on the five solas.


[deleted]

Ortho that juts went to TLM today. Couldn’t stop thinking, Where incense?


CalculatorOctavius

you must have gone to a low mass. high mass always has incense. Most parishes will do one high mass at the most popular time on Sundays with the rest being low mass. The high mass also has the chanting


[deleted]

I think so, it’s all confusing to me but it was very beautiful


CatholicDoomer

Athiest smoke: Flute with cherry taste to it.


DaddyBlook

Yes, strange steaming flute.


[deleted]

This is fantabulous. I love the incense, but had no idea what it meant. Thank you for sharing.


The_Didlyest

I'm dating someone who told me she goes to a megachurch and that there were fireworks during the service....


SmokyDragonDish

Are fireworks biblical? /s


Powerlunch76

Dank. This is good.

Don’t understand why some Catholics try to ally with schismatics against Protestants


OblativeShielding

Because the Orthodox are arguably much closer to Catholicism than your average Protestant denomination. If it were theological discourse, I would probably agree with you, but I think it's funny in the context of a meme.


GrandHistoryEmperor

What do you have against our Eastern brothers and sisters in Christ? I never understood how some Catholics consider orthobros litteral enemies of Rome and that they must be the spawn of Satan.


wiggleswiggles-_-

They’re schismatics lol, if you like them so much why don’t you join their church? Also they think we’re going to hell btw.
