Video: Holy Things for the Holy & Pure: A Study on the Sacrament of Holy Qurbana
As part of his thesis project at St. Tikhon's Seminary, Fr. Diju Skariah put together a video commentary on the Holy Qurbana: Holy Things for the Holy and Pure" This is complete with scriptural references, prayers, and explanations in correlation with the actions in the Qurbana. There are three links on youtube, which have been embedded on our website.
- Holy Things for the Holy & Pure: The Preparatory Service....Part 1 of 3
- Holy Things for the Holy & Pure: The Liturgy of the Word....Part 2 of 3
- Holy Things for the Holy & Pure: The Liturgy of the Faithful....Part 3 of 3
This project is intended to serve as a resource for those who seek to undertake a careful study of the Sacrament of Holy Qurbana in order to better their insight into the faith and practices of our Church. It incorporates various sources that provide commentary on the Holy Qurbana into one work that expands on the rich symbolism and meaning present in the Sacrament.
While it seeks to be comprehensive, it is a work in progress that will undoubtedly need further revision. By combining these resources into one audio-visual aid, it may be more accessible and appealing to students and other members of the second generation who prefer the use of media as their mode of learning. My ultimate goal is that all may be spiritually enriched by this, challenged to become active participants in the Liturgy, and come to appreciate this most sacred and divine gift that our Lord has freely given to us through the Holy Church.
