Another exhaustive question......

What are the liturgical differences between the Greek and the Salvic Traditions?

I know that you mean Slavic, but Salvic seems so close to salvific that it made me smile. One of the jokes I heard at my Seminary was: "It was very nice of the Greeks to give us (i.e. the Russians) Orthodoxy. Too bad they didn't keep any of it for themselves." Naughty? Yes, but I couldn't help smiling.

Neither Greek nor Slavic, just a Dutchman in a Russian Church

On the other hand, I had a now-reposed Greek friend who was fond of saying at odd moments: "thank God that we did not convert the Poles!"
