S2:15 EP24: The Beauty of Eastern Rite Catholicism: Interview with Rebecca Hamilton

On this episode, Katie chats with Rebecca Hamilton, a practicing Eastern Rite Catholic, exploring the unique, transcendent beauty of this liturgy. We'll learn about some of the practical differences between Eastern and Latin Rite, what family and community life is like as a Byzantine Catholic, and we'll also hear some BEAUTIFUL chant from the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom. No matter what your religious (or non religious) background, this episode is a deep dive into Beauty as a Lived, Practiced, Reality.    More at: www.bornofwonder.com    "A Light that Shines in the Darkness" https://www.bornofwonder.com/home/a-light-that-shines-in-the-darkness    ** I use the term "Latin" and "Roman" Rite when really there is only "Latin Rite" (this is the rite you are likely familiar with as a Roman Catholic) - a "Latin Mass" is the "Extraordinary Form of the Latin Rite" (It does not have to do with what language the Mass is said in)    Liturgical Chant from The Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom chanted in English by the Mount Lebanon Choir of Byzantine Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8MUi27Ff2s&t=105s    Evlogitaria of the dead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6je5axPodI&t=92s    Find Rebecca on instagram @bairntenaya    Rebecca's Spotify Playlist of Chant:   https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7Jzc6njWloo8sBZ0NWHYQj?si=fc24a0b854d14e1c     https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1SBd0VfthcUMjjq0fgvbUz?si=9e34c9dc7b834eae    "A Look at the Different Rites in the Catholic Church" https://blessedisshe.net/blog/byzantine-catholic-liturgy/    Infant Communion in the West https://preachersinstitute.com/2012/12/08/infant-communion-the-ancient-western-tradition/   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDVJH1xUTNY Difference between Eastern Catholics and Orthodox beginning at 3:31   Recommendation -- Kontakion of the Nativity of Christ  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSyC33rj0Xo
