I'm currently working on a fanfiction that involves an original character I've who is a veteran of the armed forces of the former USSR. I'd asked earlier about life in the Soviet Union in the 1980s and I became curious about the Eastern Orthodox faith.
Being Roman Catholic myself I recall that the Eastern Orthodox faith is a further offshoot from the Greek Orthodox faith and is the predominant form of Christianity in Eastern Europe.
My main question is what are the differences in Eastern Orthodox celebrations of the Mass (I've heard a lot of incense is traditionally used) and how different are its traditional prayers from the Roman Catholic ones?
