We React to Orthodox Traditions People Don’t Understand

Pedro Petrenko and Symeon Von Hahnke, students at the Saint Photios Orthodox Theological Seminary, react to various Orthodox traditions in this engaging and informative video. They walk through the meaning behind these traditions, where they come from, and why they still matter for Orthodox Christians. Along the way, they highlight the beauty, symbolism, and experiences that make Orthodoxy so powerful. At the heart of it all is the Resurrection—especially seen in the joy and practices of Pascha—, which stands as the foundation of the Orthodox Christian Faith.
