All are welcome to attend and share in the worship. It is the custom not to go up to the chalice to receive communion unless one is a chrismated Orthodox believer who has fasted from the night before. At the end of the liturgy, all visitors are welcome to join in as the antidoron bread is distributed (the bread of Agape, signifying our common fellowship in Christ).
