For its apophatic theology a stumbling block for thehuman intelligence for the fact of its 'trinitarian' consciousness for the Divine Liturgy in its offering: 'Bringing before Thee Thine own of Thine own in all and for all' - for the ikons apostolic windows into the divineworld. And last but not least for its music which is a gathering together of all Ancient musics that have ever existed as well as the music of the synagogue at the time of Christ revealing thus an apostolic and eschatologicaldimension.
