At the same time, I'm curious as to what a priest gains by having his hand kissed, so it will be interesting to see that from Fr. Peter.

Actually, Fr. Peter I was talking about the metania, the prostration that is done towards a Bishop out of respect.....that is so in our Coptic Church. normally, people don't argue the kissing of the hand thingy because it's a sign of respect in the …

Btw, if this about the word of saint Gregory's liturgy, don't try....i think they did their best to have a proper translation that keeps God's divinity and portrait it to the people in a good way.
