One of my husband's friends is an Armenian Orthodox priest. We recently attended a service at his church. Not knowing the requirements for communion, I chose not to go and remained in my seat. It was a good thing, too - I had forgotten about "fasting" because although I was raised Catholic and always fasted then, I have been attending Protestant services for 15 years.
I watched the women hand each other veils to cover their heads before taking communion. We are going to a Greek Orthodox service this Sunday (husband has to go to 2 Orthodox services for a grad-level class)and I have already decided just to stay in my seat again to minimize any issues. I am very sensitive to this as my husband had communion at a Roman Catholic service earlier this year and my brother was highly offended although the priest "opened up the communion."
