    I attended a Byzantine Rite church growing up and through college. I am amazed how much of the Liturgy I can still sing from memory in Church Slavonic and I am Irish. I maintain a deep love of the liturgy.

    When I’m in college I attend the FSSP’s church in Providence RI, where the mass and sacraments are given in Latin. I understand that the eastern liturgies have historically been adapted to the native language because they are so much more verbose than the Latin Rite, but I still think retaining the ancient language does so much supernatural good and also does the added natural good of retaining a unique Ruthenian ethnic identity. I hope this beautiful language in more often heard in Divine Liturgies in America and that the Ruthenian Church has many converts and vocations attached to that great history.

    The Rusyns, Orthodox and Greek-Catholic, have the most beautiful chant tones in all of Eastern Christendom. I have a fantasy that the local ACROD parish would let me sing in their Saturday night vespers choir. I'm a Protestant, so I don't know if a) non-Orthodox people are allowed to join the choir, b) if they even have a choir at the vespers service Saturday night, or c) if I'd be any good.

    Church Slavonic is much closer to other Slavic languages than Latin, so while no one speaks it, it isn't hard to understand for Slavs, especially if they grew up with divine liturgies in the language

    No it is not a dead language. Slavonic Liturgies are very common in our Byzantine Rite. Slovak is spoken by many of our parishioners. Many of our new priests who are coming from the Ukraine speak this language. More and more people are trying to learn and speak this language once again. I feel it is making a great come back.
