Pomegranate in Arabic church

A few-hours long feast liturgy amongst louder and louder songs. Why do they keep singing louder? What do the candles in the sand mean? Who can receive Communion?

In winter it’s icy. In summer pleasantly fresh. In some countries there is plenty of it. In others they are few. Sometimes simple and with white walls (this is how I like it the most), and sometimes stuffed with columns, altars, paintings and severe faces of stagnant statues. The church. They are also some where you won’t find pews and everyone sits on the ground. It can be a symbol of calmness or art or boredom.
