Orthodox Sacraments

Orthodox sacraments are sacred rituals essential to the life of the Orthodox Christian Church, serving as visible signs of spiritual grace. The seven main sacraments include Baptism, Chrismation (Confirmation), Eucharist (Communion), Confession (Penance), Matrimony (Marriage), Holy Orders (Ordination), and Anointing of the Sick. Each sacrament deepens one's relationship with God, fosters community, and enhances spiritual growth. Through these rites, believers experience and receive God's grace, empowering them to live out their faith in daily life. The sacraments are seen as pathways to divine life and transformation within the church and the believer’s personal journey.
