What differences do the Catholics and Orthodox have with funerals?
Catholics and Orthodox Christians have distinct funeral practices shaped by their theological beliefs and traditions. Catholics typically emphasize the importance of the Mass, including the Eucharist, during funeral services, and they often hold wakes prior to the funeral. In contrast, Orthodox funerals focus on a liturgical service that includes a series of prayers and hymns, with a strong emphasis on the resurrection and the eternal life of the deceased. Additionally, Orthodox practices often involve a three-day mourning period and specific rituals related to burial and memorial services.
Are funerals supposed to be kept on the sabbath?
It is more a matter of traffic control than anything else. Regular canonical ( within the Church norms of the Canon Law) Masses are on a regular schedule on Sundays- in the Roman church. Therefore it is extremely unlikely to hold a requiem or funeral mass on Sundays. This is more a matter of traffic control than anything else- the same, for different reasons, applies to Weddings. Weddings are usually held on Saturday afternoons ( to avoid tie-ups with the regular schedule of Masses) The Mass is ended, Go in Peace- Deo Gratis! (Thanks be to God!)
