How do you worship in an orthodox church?
You worship by entering the church, lighting a candle, venerating (honouring) the holy icons by kissing them, then taking part in the services. If you are an Orthodox Christian, you can also take part in Holy Communion and other sacraments. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, while the Virgin Mary and the Saints are venerated, they only worship Jesus Christ as God, since Jesus is part of the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). Icons and saints are venerated, not worshipped.
Why Egyptian Orthodox Church allows consuming fish in some fasting seasons such as the fast of the apostles?
The Eastern Orthodox Church rules allow for fish to be consumed on some fasting seasons, such as the Apostles' Fast and the Christmas (Advent) Fast (except on Wednesdays and Fridays), because these fasts are not as strict as Great Lent (before Easter) or the Virgin Mary's Dormition Fast. The Coptic Orthodox Church may have some slight variations to these fasting rules, but essentially they are very similar.
