Something almost universally taken for granted in American Orthodoxy is the inherent good of frequent communion. This wasn’t commonly practiced for many centuries. Yiayia might complain, but with the monastic resurgence in the 1800s and the “neo-patristic” revival in the 1900s, almost everyone assumes that more is better. You get Jesus in His actuality in the Eucharist with all the health and salvation that comes with it, so why would you not receive as frequently as possible? It’s the central, most definitive act of the Church. It’s in the Eucharist that we become deified. https://orthodoxreflections.com/maybe-frequent-communion-was-a-mistake/
