The World of Orthodoxy. Sacraments, Rites, Traditions

This book is about Orthodoxy as the only religion that provides the true answer to the main questions of our life. The Christian teaching on the salvation of man from sin and death is contained in the Holy Scripture, Tradition, and Sacraments of the Orthodox Church. But Orthodoxy is not only the observance of certain rites, cultural traditions, and dogmas. It is a whole world filled with the joyful message of the coming of the Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave people the way to salvation from death, suffering, and slavery to evil, the path to eternal life. From the book, the reader will learn not only about the deepest mystical meaning of the Sacraments and rites of the Church but also receive answers to the questions: who is man and why is he called the "crown of creation," how is the human soul structured and what forces act within it, what is the "spiritual world," why are we born and die, what awaits us after death. The book is intended for a wide audience of readers who may be searching for answers to the main questions of faith for the first time.
