When does (Serbian) Orthodox Christianity use bible?

Recently a Serbian priest visited our home to give supplication (I think...)
*only because my spouse is Serbian.

And later I noticed something. I've never seen people reading/carrying bibles back in Serbian Churches.
I have my Japanese bible (protestant) even if I'm not baptized. So I found it a little odd.

I wonder if the publication of orthodox bible itself is very limited.
Can anyone explain this please as my spouse cannot...?

Thanks in advance,

- Churches that I know usually provide bibles, or you just find them when seated. But not in Serbian churches....

your spouse should ask the priest to be really sure, its an interesting thought for sure...hope you find out soon
good luck

The only people who carry their bibles everywhere, even to church are Fundamentalist Protestants. The rest of us do not. That includes the Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Anglican, and some others. The bible is read by the reader and by the priest. The rest of the service is Mass. Protestants don't have Mass. I think it is silly to take your bible to church. You have one at home to read at home.

During the Eastern Orthodox Liturgy there are two Bible readings and almost every prayer has biblical roots.
