Judgment Sunday (Meatfare Sunday): Greek Orthodox Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom 03/10/2024 - Video

LIVE High Definition (HD) broadcast of the Greek Orthodox Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom on Judgment Sunday (Meatfare Sunday).

The Greek Orthodox Church interprets Matthew 25:31-46, the parable of the Sheep and the Goats, as emphasizing love shown through actions towards others. Jesus separates humanity based on whether they helped the "least of these": the hungry, thirsty, stranger, naked, sick, and imprisoned. Those who offered help are called righteous and inherit the kingdom of heaven, while those who didn't are considered wicked and condemned. The focus is not on religious rituals but on living faith through compassionate acts. This parable is a call to social justice and serving those in need as an expression of faith.

Our Eastern Orthodox service is conducted mainly using English and Greek and streamed LIVE from Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church in Boca Raton, Florida.
