- Virulent anti Ukrainian comments 0:30
- Russian Orthodox Church, Greek Orthodox Church, Bulgarian Orthodox
Church 1:00
- There is nothing idolatris about defending the historical Ukrainian
Orthodox Church and its traditions. Ethnicity is not incongruent with
Orthodox Christianity 1:20
- The Greeks, unlike any other Orthodox nation, have a special category
of saints and martyrs, i.e. ethno-martyrs, ethno martyrs. People who
died for Orthodox Christians of Greek descent, Greek heritage. Greeks
who died for Greeks 1:58
- Symbolism of Greek Orthodox Church (Ελληνορθόδοξη Εκκλησία), Mount
Athos (Όρος Άθως), Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople
(Константинопольська православна церква). Double headed eagle is a
secular symbol, it is not a church symbol. It is a heraldic emblem used
by late emperors of Byzantium existing several centuries prior to
Christianity. Turkey 3:00
- The double headed eagle, a secular symbol, is symbolic of the
Ecumenical Patriarch, monks of Mount Athos, and the Greek Orthodox
Church 4:00
- This represents a certain ethnic symbol within Orthodox Christianity 4:30
- The symbol of the double headed eagle has been appropriated by the
Russian orthodox Church (Русская православная церковь) Picture of The
Cathedral of the Holy Vivifying Trinity, Moscow, Russia; Russian
Orthodox church icons with a double headed eagle as the most important
symbol as the mother of God and Christ. No one says that symbol is
idolatrous 4:45
- Ukrainian Orthodox church and the tryzub (Тризуб / Державний Герб
України). Attacked for introducing a pagan symbol. St. Volodymyr
(Володимир Великий / Володимир Святославич) 5:21
- The tryzub became an extremely important element in the church of
Ukraine. Accusation that the tryzub is idolatrous or a symbol of the
devil is unfair as the same argument would have to apply against the
Greek Orthodox Church and Russian Orthodox church (but are not) 6:19
- Reaction against the symbols of Ukrainian Orthodox church 7:00
- Ukrainian national culture, Ukrainian ethnic culture. Greek ethno
martyrs 7:45
