What are Sacraments? Sacraments are means of grace instituted by Jesus Christ for the salvation of mankind. Through them the grace of God descends and indwells upon the Church and its members. Although, the Orthodox Church celebrates many Sacraments, we consider seven of them as the most important, so they are commonly known as Seven Sacraments. They are:
• Baptism
• Holy Myron (Chrism)
• Holy Eucharist (Qurbono)
• Confession
• Matrimony
• Ordination
• Anointing the Sick
