Job Getcha Knihy

This book describes and explains the sacramental services of the Orthodox Church. The Euchologion is the liturgical book that priests use to serve all the mysteries, or sacraments, of the Church. Though most people have heard of the seven sacraments--baptism, confirmation, the Eucharist, confession, marriage, ordination, and unction--this is a later western schema, and the Orthodox Church performs several other sacramental rites, which are also explained: monastic tonsure, the funeral, the sanctification of chrism, the consecration of a church, and the blessing of water. --Book cover
