(Orthodox Life) - This Sunday marked the commemoration of the Holy Apostle James, Brother of the Lord and first Bishop in Jerusalem. In keeping with annual tradition, the Liturgy of St James was served on this day at Holy Trinity Monastery.

This ancient rite is often misunderstood so Dr Vitaly Permiakov, an expert in the Jerusalem rite and associate professor at Holy Trinity Orthodox Seminary, fielded questions in a live online event. The discussion was moderated by Nicholas Kotar.
