I use the Greek version for my username as I did not have an Armenian font available to me when I chose it. I also like the sound of the word, and this is the Byzantine Forum after all.

I have heard good things about the church in Athens. I am glad you were able to worship there and feel at home. Thank you for the video link.

Does anyone know if the rite of ordination of a deaconess by Cheirotoneia is on video anywhere out there (youtube or elsewhere?)

A translation into the English language of the ordination rite (cheirotonia) of deaoneses in the Byzantine tradition (originally in Greek) can be found here (I have not checked the quality of the translation, obviously the title of this site - "womenpriests", is not mine):

You can find an on line edition of Goars Euchologion here (original texts in Greek and translation into Englisg): http://books.google.es/books?id=zKQ...redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false.
No idea about the Armenian texts.

The original Grek text of the Ordination rite in Manuscript Barberini gr. 336 and even photocopies of the manuscrip can be found here:

i know that the text exists. Does any video of an ordination of the Deaconness in the Orthodox Churches exist. I believe that the Armenian Orthodox Church ordained one in recent years. I was wondering if video existed of the actual ordination of the woman that was ordained.
