What to expect on a first visit

Expect ancient liturgy engaging all the senses — chant, incense, and icons. Much of the congregation stands, and people come and go quietly during the long service; arriving mid-liturgy is normal and unremarkable. Music is chanted liturgy, largely a cappella. Children's programming or nursery care is available. If you'd rather look before you visit, services are streamed online.
