There are special experiences in our life as Orthodox Christians when the perception of God's presence and actions is heightened and celebrated. We call these events Sacraments. Sacraments are also known as "Mysteries" in the Orthodox Church. Through these Mysteries, God discloses Himself through the prayers and actions of His people.
Each Sacrament is composed of prayers, hymns, scripture lessons, gestures and processions. Many parts of the Sacraments date back to the time of the Apostles. Most importantly, Sacraments affirm the central truth of the Orthodox Christian faith - that God became flesh in Jesus Christ and entered into the midst of creation thereby redirecting the cosmos toward its vocation to glorify its Creator. Learn more about Orthodox Christian Sacraments from the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America website.
