Altar servers

Altar servers are individuals, often young members of a church community, who assist during religious services, particularly in the Catholic, Anglican, and Orthodox traditions. Their duties include helping the priest prepare the altar, carrying liturgical items like candles and incense, and supporting the flow of the service. They serve as active participants in worship, helping create a reverent environment. Altar serving requires training to understand the liturgy and proper conduct, fostering both spiritual growth and a deeper connection to their faith community.
