To: Kolokotronis; OLD REGGIE; metmom
Off to the Divine Liturgy of St. Basil the Great

Two and a half to three hours of standing...amazingly, one doesn't feel it, even elderly folks stand. In the Tokyo Orthodox Cathedral (popularly known as Nikorai Do, Nikola's House), I watched really old people stand (yes, there are Orthodox Japanese!) through the whole liturgy even though there are always chairs for the old and the indigent.
