We have recieved some brief accoints that are not extensive enough for a full page, but do include some interesting information. HBC readers who were choir boys are incouraged to add details of their own experiences.
I really can't remember a great deal. Too many years have gone by since I
was an altar boy at my Greek Orthodox church. In the Orthodox church there is
an altar screen with icons which hides the altar boys when we were not
involved with the service. Boys being boys, we did get in trouble with the
priest by playing some tricks by putting too much incense in the burner where
the priest waved in front of icons and the congregation. The robes are full length with wide belts and a criss cross design around your body. The robes are made of fairly heavy material and with much embroidery on the robe.
