Full question: 

CIX

My students are still asking why the Bishop removes his mitre ( as in the Divine Liturgy for the Ukrainian bilingual schools)?
Looking forward to your response 🙂

 

Answer From: Bishop David

Response: 

There are certain points in the Divine Liturgy you can take off the mitre to honour God. During the high points such as the reading of the Gospel and consecration of the gifts. Often after the reading of the gospel, I can leave it off!
