I grew up with this. As a kid I enjoyed the bouncy music and the smiley, happy, clappy people. That I was led to Orthodoxy because it is a rejection of the happy-clappies, I don’t know.
1) Why does the congregation stand up for the priest if they haven’t already stood up for the gigantic, creepy, black totem-heads?
2) Does a good swishing and shaking of the Gospel Book make it easier to swallow? (fast forward to 3:40 and beyond).
