I have wondered this....thank you for this explanation, Father God bless ☦️🙏

I always thought the Gospel reading wasn't during the Divine liturgy and that was why the priest read on the right side during Orthos.

Thanks for explaining 😊

Hello Father, fellow Byzantine Catholic here asking a question that me, a few other Eastern Catholic and Orthodox people wonder. How do we know what God the Father looks like? Its heavily disputed whenever he is depicted jn certain icons of the Trinity

Based! What do you guys think of the Byzantine Catholic or eastern Catholics. God bless you

Gospel is always read in front if the gates. Never seen what you describe.
