Can anybody show me any quotes from Eastern Catholic or Orthodox Saints in favor of Adoration? I saw a list once but I can no longer find it. Thanks!!

Whoever these saints were, they had to be writing after the 13th century, which would make them rather late, don't you think?

What you may find in these saints writings is not likely to be Eucharistic adoration/benediction akin to what is found in the Roman Church, which is a Medieval development, but something else I suppose.

I don't think they favor Adoration.
Our entire Liturgical actions are adoration - I saw a great article on the reason Eastern Catholics don't do adoration ... I'll try to post it when I find it.

It separates the Eucharist from the Divine Liturgy and consecration.
I know for a fact that the Precious Gifts have candles lit while they are returned to the Proskomede for consumption by the Priest or deacon after Liturgy.
Also when I serve on the Altar - I know the consecrated Body and Blood of Christ are in the Artophorion and my prayers (let us commend our whole life to
Christ our God = I bow to the Artophorion = not necessarily the Icon of Christ
And when I enter the Holy Place I bow to the Artophorion in adoration and hopefully in awe and wonder -
but they laity do not specifically display or adore in silence and benediction like the Latins
